NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. — Class of 2024 four-star guard Ahmad Nowell has set an announcement date.

Nowell told ZAGSBLOG he will announce his college choice July 23. Jack Pilgrim and Jacob Polacheck of On3.com first broke the news.

Nowell, the 6-foot, 180-pound guard from Imhotep Institute (PA) and the Team Final AAU program, will announce between UConn, Georgia Tech, Kentucky and Tennessee.

Nowell has visited every school on his final list officially besides Kentucky.

Uncommitted 2024 4 star Jahki Howard had a solid performance in NH Lightning’s 2OT game with JL3 Elite.

For Team Final (4-1), Nowell is averaging 12.0 points, 6.6 assists and 4.6 rebounds at Peach Jam.

Nowell is a coveted prospect, ranking as the No. 35 player nationally and No. 3 combo guard per the 247Sports Composite.

“I’d say I’m an all-around player,” Nowell said to On3. “I can rebound, pass, score it. I’m an overall leader, whatever the team needs me to do in order to win. I watch a lot of different guys, the handle like Kyrie (Irving), the shooting like Damian Lillard, and the dog like Jimmy Butler. I’m a natural winner.”
