Lincoln Trail College guard Dante Combs will continue his basketball career at the University of Illinois Springfield. Combs earned All-Region and All-Conference honors for the Statesmen in the 2019-20 season.
Statesmen coach Luke Stuckey says Combs brings a lot of athleticism to UIS. 鈥淗is best attribute as a basketball player is his ability to score. He鈥檚 one of those explosive scorers that even when a defense guards him well, if he鈥檚 hot, he can still score against you. He鈥檚 an incredible scorer and a very, very good athlete.鈥
Combs averaged 12.4 points per game for the Statesmen as a sophomore and 11.2 points per game as a freshman. Stuckey says off the court, Combs is exactly the kind of player coaches are looking for and he believes that he鈥檒l be an excellent fit at UIS. He sees him being an immediate contributor to their program.
