| 25 | 42.5 | 2.4 | 0.7 | 10.6 |
Overview:
Originally a four-star recruit and the No. 15 shooting guard in the class of 2018, Noah Locke joined the Gators over offers from big-time programs like Michigan and Ohio State. As a freshman in 2018-19, he finished second on the team in scoring with 9.4 points per game and averaged 2.3 three-pointers, fifth-best in the SEC. He started 26 of 36 games that season and scored a season-high 27 points against Texas A&M.
He assumed a starting role once again as a sophomore (for 29 of 31 games, albeit), and his numbers only increased. He averaged 10.6 points and 2.5 rebounds, and his 48.1% mark from downtown was the best for any SEC player with 50+ makes since 1996. He also notched his first (and only) career double-double in a win over Long Beach State.
As a junior in 2020-21, Locke almost entirely replicated his stat line from the previous season. He had the same points (10.6), assists (0.7) and steals (0.6) averages, and his rebounding dropped to just 2.4 while his field-goal percentage dropped by just 0.4 percentage points. Despite his consistency as a shooter, he didn’t run the point much and rarely facilitated the offense.
Apparently in search of a bigger role, he entered the transfer portal this offseason. He announced that he would be joining Louisville, where he will hope he’s more productive under coach Chris Mack.
