Georgia Southern (GS) guard Kamari Brown has been selected to compete in the State Farm College Slam Dunk Championship.
The championship will be held on Thursday, March 30, at the Bayou Music Center in downtown Houston.
Brown has a 47-inch vertical leap and has been a fan favorite of the Hanner Fieldhouse faithful since his arrival on campus in 2020.
The fifth-year senior recently completed his final year of eligibility and tallied 680 points, 317 rebounds, 91 assists, 54 blocks and 58 steals in 85 career games for the Eagles.
The dunk contest is part of the Hoops House events that are being held ahead of the NCAA Tournament semifinal games on April 1 and the championship game on April 3.
The Hoops House events also include the 3-Point Championships, which will air live on ESPN2 on Thursday, March 30, and the High School Slam Dunk & 3-Point Championships, which will take place on Friday, March 31, and air on CBS on Sunday, April 2.
These events have routinely hosted future basketball stars. Jabari Smith, the number three pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, was part of the dunk and three-point championships in 2021, and Kevin Porter Jr. participated in the dunk contest in 2018.
Other professionals to participate in these events include Gary Payton, Steve Nash, Jason Terry, Wesley Matthews, Trae Young, Donovan Mitchell, Ariel Atkins, Jordin Canada, Cappie Pondexter and Tiffany Hayes.
The State Farm College Slam Dunk Championship will air live on ESPN2 on March 30 at 7:30 p.m. ET, and tickets can be purchased here.
