Chattahoochee Tech men’s basketball player Brian Collier has signed with four-year Lemoyne-Owen College in Memphis, Tenn. He will have two years of eligibility remaining for the Magicians, who play in the NCAA Division II Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.

“I think it’s great that Brian has found a home for the next two seasons,”

said Chattahoochee Tech head coach David Archer.

“He has the ability to develop into a post player who can have a great impact. Lemoyne-Owen will be a good fit for him to continue to develop as a student and a player.”

The 6-foot-9, 265-pound post player averaged three points, 4.5 rebounds and two blocks per game last season for the Golden Eagles, who finished 17-13 overall and made the conference playoffs in their first year as an NJCAA member school. Collier, a 2008 graduate of Banneker High School in College Park, Ga., redshirted one year for NAIA Truett-McConnell College in Cleveland, Ga.

Lemoyne-Owen competes against the likes of local conference foes Morehouse and Clark Atlanta in the historically black SIAC.

“I’m looking forward to a different level of competition and also to compete for a championship,”

Collier said.

Collier played the role of defensive stopper in the paint for the Golden Eagles and will join a Magicians team, coached by William Anderson, that finished 11-19 overall and 9-15 in conference last season.

Chattahoochee Tech is entering its second season as a member of the Georgia Collegiate Athletic Association in NJCAA Division I.
