On Thursday, Ama Tening Sow, a class of 2025 prospect out of Montour High School in Western Pennsylvania, committed to University of Tennessee at Martin — a division one basketball program.
Sow becomes the third current WPIAL player to commit to a division one program. He joins Tyler Robbins, who will be playing for Miami OH, as well as Courtney Wallace, who will be playing for Yale in the Ivy League.
“Ama is a high-upside prospect, live-body athlete in the 6’8-6’9 range,” Wildcat Select coach Tom Droney told PSN. “His best asset right now is his ability to track the ball and rebound it on both ends of the floor. He has shown the ability to move his feet when switched onto perimeter players and he thrives as a weak-side shot blocker. Has range that is starting to extend consistently to the perimeter with good mechanics. Can put the ball on the floor a little bit going straight line, but he thrives best right now as a pick and roll lob threat or dunker spot for easy buckets at the basket. Dealt with some lingering injuries this past summer but his best basketball is ahead of him for sure.”
The Senegal native originally moved to the U.S. to play for First Love, a former prep school in Washington, PA. After the program left the area, he then transferred to Montour to play WPIAL ball.
