DES MOINES, Iowa – D.J. Wilkins, a 6-2 guard from Merrillville, Ind., will join the Drake University men's basketball team in 2018-19, head coach Darian DeVries has announced.

Wilkins joins the Bulldogs after spending last season at Florida Southwestern State College.

"We're excited to have D.J. become part of the Bulldog family!' DeVries said. "He brings tremendous playmaking ability to our team with a great shot and will be a constant threat from the three-point arc."

Wilkins is a product of Merrillville High School where he was a three-time all-conference selection and a two-time all-state honoree as well as a 2016 McDonald's All-America honoree.
