OMAHA, Neb. – The Creighton men’s basketball team has scored two big commitments from Tennessee natives on Wednesday.

Within minutes of each other, Memphis transfer Jonathan Lawson and Tennessee high-schooler Brock Vice made their announcements on Twitter.

Lawson will have three seasons of eligibility after two years at Memphis, including one as a redshirt. He played in 29 games for the Tigers, averaging 3.4 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game.

He scored a career-high 10 points against Texas A&M in December.

A 6’6” guard with a 7’1” wingspan, Lawson was a top-50 recruit coming out of high school in 2021.

Lawson will be joined on the roster by fellow Tennessee native Brock Vice, a 6’10” forward from Germantown, Tenn.

A 2023 recruit, Vice had 10 total Division I scholarship offers, including Saint Louis, Appalachian State and Tulsa.

Vice had initially signed his letter of intent with Saint Louis in November, but he requested a release last month.

It’s been an offseason involving several incoming and departing players for the Bluejays.

Within days of seeing its season come to a close in the Elite 8, Creighton saw five players enter the transfer portal, including starting point guard Ryan Nembhard. The Bluejays have added former Grand Island standout Isaac Traudt, a transfer from Virginia, and Utah State transfer Steven Ashworth.

Ryan Kalkbrenner, Arthur Kaluma and Trey Alexander have all entered their names for early entry into the NBA Draft, though all three have the option to withdraw from the draft and return to Coach Greg McDermott’s squad if they do so by the end of May.
