"We're excited to welcome Sherman to the Wolverine family," said Phillips. "He's a tremendous young man with high character. Sherman brings leadership and ball-handling, and his ability to stretch the floor and attack the basket will fill many roles for us. He's going to be a huge asset to our program."

His 13-point outing in just 15 minutes at Central Michigan (12/6/23) marked a season high.

A native of Bowie, Maryland, Weatherspoon played his senior high school season at Bethesda-Chevy Chase (Md.) after beginning his prep career at nationally ranked DeMatha Catholic.
