Liberty has added a commitment from Cedarville transfer forward Jayvon Maughmer. He has one year of eligibility remaining.
Playing for the Cedarville Yellow Jackets in Division II over the past four years, the 6’6″, 210 pound Maughmer has established himself as one of the top players in the country at that level. This past year, he started all 35 games he played in while averaging 33.1 minutes, 20.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 3.0 assists per game. He shot 51.9% from the field, 40.8% from three as he made 78 of 191 shots behind the arc, and also shot 81.0% from the free throw line.
Maughmer was named his conference’s player of the year and was named first-team NCCAA All-American, just one year after being a third team choice. He was also named the NCCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player after leading Cedarville to the national title. He was the first Cedarville player to appear on the first team NCCAA All-American list since his older brother, Branden, did so a few years ago. Like Jayvon, his brother Branden played four years at Cedarville before transferring to Division I Morehead State for his final season.
During his junior season, Maughmer started all 29 games and ranked third in the conference at 17.8 points per game while shooting over 50 percent from the field. He scored in double figures 26 times including the last 17 outings of the season.
Maughmer is originally from Chillicothe High School in Chillicothe, Ohio. He will help add depth to the Flames on the wing.
