Hazen senior Dominic Green last week officially signed a letter of intent to play basketball at Arizona State University.

Green is the first Highlander boys basketball player to sign a Division I scholarship since Jason Hamilton signed with San Diego State back in 1992.

He is excited to join the Sun Devils program and said in a press release that he looks forward to playing in the Pac12.

“Their coaching staff is known for player development and I really like their up-tempo style of play,” he said in the release.

Green plans to major in communications with an emphasis in broadcast journalism.

When asked what he’ll miss most about Hazen, he replied, “I will miss the friendly environment and all of my supportive friends.”

Coach Ryan Thompson spoke last week at a small event at the school in honor of Green’s signing and said this is only the beginning of if the journey for Green.

“We are so proud that Dominic has reached his goals and look forward to seeing him reach his potential as both a student and athlete at the collegiate level,” added Principal Kate O’Brien.
