CONWAY, Ark. _ The University of Central Arkansas men's basketball program has received a commitment from Owen Dehrmann from Bentonville (Ark.) High School.

Dehmann is a 6-foot-4, 185-pound guard who played for the Tigers, where he averaged 10 points per game. Dehrmann is a member of the National Honor Society and the Young Men's Service League and has a 3.8 grade-point average. He was a 6A All-Conference selection.

"The moment we sat down with Owen his passion and energy for the game of basketball filled the room," said new UCA head coach John Shulman. "That is the type of person we want in our program and it did not take long to realize that he was a perfect fit. 

"Owen will represent this program very well on and off the floor. He has work ethic, character, and a deep love for the game of basketball."
