A high school basketball player who has gone viral for his skills has received a scholarship offer to play basketball at the University of Memphis, he said Friday.
Enmanuel, who had most of his left arm amputation as a child, now has three scholarship offers from Division I schools with Memphis being the highest-profile institution to date. Enmanuel has received offers from two historically Black universities.
Enmanuel, who was born in the Dominican Republic, is a guard and senior at Life Christian Academy.
He lost his left arm below the shoulder in an accident when he was six years old.
Enmanuel is a combo guard who is rated a 3-star prospect by 247Sports.
His highlight reels show off his impressive skill set, which includes shooting three-pointers with a unique stroke and throwing down emphatic dunks.
A video for J. Cole's Dreamer brand has Enmanuel in it.
According to On3's estimates, Enmanuel has a name, image and likeness (NIL) value of $1.2 million, which is third highest among current high school basketball players.
New NCAA rules allow college athletes to profit from NIL deals, so Enmanuel should have a lot of endorsement opportunities.
