Racer Newcomer: Jackson Sivills

Murray State men's basketball incoming freshman, Jackson Sivills, is set to join the Racers this summer to begin preparations for the 2020-21 season.

Sivills is a 6-6 guard from McCracken County High School in Paducah, Kentucky where he played for Coach Burlin Brower.

Sivills averaged 21.4 points per game to go with 7.9 rebounds in the 2019-20 season for the McCracken County Mustangs. He finished his prep career with 1,998 points and 871 rebounds, both school records. The Louisville Courier Journal named Sivills to its All-State First Team and the Kentucky Lions Club named him to the Kentucky-Indiana All-Star series, which includes being a finalist for the Mr. Basketball award. He was also recognized by the Lexington Herald Leader as All-State and the Region-1 Player of the Year. The Paducah Sun honored Sivills as the Purchase Area Player of the Year in the last two seasons.

Sivills told GoRacers.com, he is looking forward to being a Racer.

"I wanted to make my own decision," Sivills said. "Even before I was born, it was a great program when my dad played there. Others recruited me, but I found that Murray State was the best place for me. The recent success they've has featured the best teams at MSU and I feel like it's a place I can come in and thrive in the system. It was easy to fall in love with what we have at Murray State."
