PUTNAM — After a great showing in front of the Iona College coaching staff they extended Putnam Science Academy sophomore guard Demarr Langford Jr. his first scholarship offer. A 6-foot, 5-inch sophomore guard from Worcester, Langford Jr. displayed his extensive skillset by making explosive plays at the rim and showing the ability to knock down the 3-point shot. 

Head Coach Tom Espinosa said, “This is a very exciting time for Demarr. We are very excited for Demarr and his family after the scholarship offer. Demarr has a ton of upside and we are excited to see his game continue to grow.”

Langford Jr., the brother of Makai Ashton-Langford who is a current freshman point guard at Providence College, is hoping to see his game go to the next level by taking the prep school route. His older brother also took the same route and saw great growth in his game 

and recruitment because of it. 

An imposing figure Langford possesses many of the skills that current college coaches are looking for. He is a strong, well built guard that can get to the rim with ease because of his hard working mentality. He also has a nose for the ball even though he is one of the youngest players on the Mustangs roster as he is only 15 years old. He attacks the offensive and defensive backboard looking for rebounds. “Demarr is a very hard worker and talented player,” said Espinosa. “He continues to improve each day and has a great upside moving forward. He is young for his grade, but isn’t afraid to mix it up with the older guys.”

Espinosa believes this will be the first of many offers for the talented guard as he continues to develop his game.
