The University of Minnesota Crookston men's basketball team announced the signing of MCC Pioneer guard Dylan Hushaw.

"I've been following Dylan for quite some time now," said Head Coach Dan Weisse. "There are some intangibles about him that you really cannot coach. I think he has some things our team really needs. He communicates well and has a leader mentality. Dylan has a real toughness about him. He really loves to compete and will do whatever it takes to win a game. He also can really shoot the ball. He comes from a terrific family and was very well coached at Miles. I am looking forward to having Dylan in the Golden Eagle basketball family."

Hushaw adds to the backcourt for the Golden Eagles, giving UMN Crookston a strong shooter, along with someone who can get to the hoop, rebound, and is a good passer. He is the first junior college signee for the class. He joins Kirk, Jr. to give Minnesota Crookston a strong start to the 2021 signing class.

"I am super excited to be a Golden Eagle!," Hushaw stated. "Coach Weisse has been super supportive and encouraging throughout the whole process, which reassured my decision to go here. I also loved the campus and programs offered from a school standpoint. The players have been really welcoming to me and I am excited to get to work with them! My biggest strengths as a player are my ability to shoot the ball from anywhere on the court, my playmaking ability, and my high IQ and basketball awareness. I also have a super high motor and will give 100% effort."

Hushaw averaged 16.8 points per game this season and about 35 minutes. Hushaw shot 40% from the 3-point line and 80% percent from the free throw line. He also averaged 6 rebounds and 4 assists. Hushaw scored 37 points in a win over Williston State College, connecting on five three-pointers. He had 25 points in a win over Bismarck State College. Hushaw dished out eight assists against Dawson Community College. He notched 14 rebounds in a win over Williston State. Hushaw was a Second Team All-Conference selection.
