Sports Seriously

Providence College closed the final few hours of the week by picking up a fifth commitment in this spring recruiting cycle. 

Central Florida guard Jaylin Sellers pledged to the Friars via posts on his social media accounts. He selected Providence ahead of a final list that also included Cincinnati, Illinois and Big East-rival Georgetown. 

Sellers played in just three games with the Knights in 2024-25, battling multiple injuries that included back problems. He missed the first 10 contests and the last 22 for Central Florida, which finished 19-16 overall. Sellers was expected to play a key role for coach Johnny Dawkins as a strong, physical shooting guard. 

“Friar Town what’s good,” Sellers wrote on his Instagram post. 

Sellers enjoyed a successful 2023-24 campaign, averaging 15.9 points and starting in all but one of his 33 appearances. He was a top-15 player in Big 12 games in turnover rate, fewest fouls committed per 40 minutes and free-throw shooting. Sellers came out of the blocks and scored in double figures in each of his first 12 games, including 34 points on 12-for-16 shooting in a loss to Stetson. 

Sellers started his college career at Ball State and doubled his production in his second season. He averaged 13.5 points and 3.7 rebounds while connecting at 45% from 3-point range in 2022-23. Sellers hit for at least 20 points six times and double figures in 23 of his 31 appearances. 

Sellers was a two-time All-State selection in his native Georgia and received largely mid-major interest out of the prep ranks. His offers included Troy, Miami (Ohio), Charleston Southern, Alabama State, the Hatters, Jacksonville and UAB. Sellers was an All-Freshman team honoree in the MAC with the Cardinals in 2021-22.
