2025 PG Jordan Lowery talks visits; dives into NC State, Kansas State, SMU, and more
Jordan Lowery transferred to Winston Salem (NC) Winston Salem Christian, for his junior season. As a sophomore at Denton (TX) Gueyer High, Lowery averaged 12.5 points, 3.2 assists, and 2.2 steals while shooting 48 percent from the field.
“I’m a two-way playmaker,” Lowery told On3. “I defend at a high level, I create at a high level, and I can score when I need to. If my team needs a bucket, I can go get that for us. My shooting has really improved; stretching the defense is one of the biggest things at the highest level. It creates driving lanes and gets you in the paint. The defense breaks down when you get in the paint.”
Lowery is a 6-foot-0 lead guard. He played this summer on Nike’s EYBL E16 Circuit with the Drive Nation program coached by former NBA All-Star Jermaine O’Neal. Lowery averaged 10.3 points, 3.3 assists, and 1.2 steals throughout league play.
“I watch a lot of Sharife Cooper and Darius Garland,” Lowery said. “Being a smaller guard, I got to watch smaller guards and what they do. I really watch a lot of Chris Paul and how he handles pick-and-roll situations.”
On3 caught up with Jordan Lowery after a recent live viewing to talk about his recruitment.
“Right now, I have offers from Kansas State, Oklahoma State, SMU, Wichita State, Seton Hall, NC State, St. Louis, and TCU,” Lowery said. “I know I’m going to take an official to Wichita State soon, and I’ll go to NC State for an unofficial on the 29th.”
Lowery talks recruitment
Wichita State: “It’s a new coaching staff there, so I want to go and see what they’re all about. They’re telling me that they need a guard this year (in 2024), so they’re recruiting me to reclass up. I’m enjoying building a connection with the staff. And they’re telling me they need players like me to compete at a high level.”
NC State: “The coaching staff is great. I was able to build a good relationship with Joel Justus over there. He has recruited me since the first game of EYBL Session 1 in Atlanta, and we have stayed in touch ever since. Last year, what they did in March Madness, and their guard play, the freedom they give them, that’s the main thing with me.”
SMU: “They joined the ACC, which is big. Joining a high-major conference, being a high-major program, is always a big thing. For me, I want to play against the best and beat the best. They let their guards rock, Coach Rob (Lanier) used to be a point guard. So having a point guard as your head coach, you can learn a lot under a coach who played the same position you do.”
Kansas State: “You see what they did last year with Markquis Nowell. Coach (Jerome) Tang lets his guards go. I like playing for a coach who lets his guard rock out. I like not having to look over my shoulder. What they’re doing over there is building a dynasty, and I like what they got going on, for sure.”
TCU: “Mike Miles was there. Like all the schools that are jumping in, he is a small, dynamic guard. They let him do everything, score, play make, and defend. Looking at that, it fits me. They have had guards like me. I can see myself.”
Seton Hall: I don’t know much about them because they’re a newer school. I know they had a guard a few years ago, Myles Powell, who averaged 20 a game. Their coach (Shaheen Holloway) was a smaller guard, too. I’m ready to learn more about them.”
“I’ve heard some from Gonzaga, Virginia Tech, and UCLA, too,” Lowery said.
In Lowery’s Words
“Witchita State and Seton Hall are the only two schools I’ve talked with about reclassifying up so far,” Jordan Lowery said. “I’m going to look for the right fit; if a school wants to bring me in early, then we will look at that. But it will have to be the right fit.
“I’m going to be looking closely at the family culture. If I don’t stay at home, I want to feel at home. The player development is huge for me. I want to get to the next level; that is my main goal, so whatever school can help get me to the next level will be big with who I pick. That and the family culture.
“I play with a lot of pace and a lot out of the pick and roll. I’ll look for a team that is going to put me in the right position to succeed.”
