Lafayette High School graduate Caleb Bennett announced on Twitter Tuesday afternoon that he will be returning to St. Joseph to play basketball at Missouri Western this fall.

The former Fighting Irish All-Stater has spent the last two season at Division I Lehigh in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

Bennett tore his ACL this past season for the Mountain Hawks as he played in 23 games and averaged 4.7 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game. As a freshman during the 2017-2018 season, Bennett played in 30 games and made one start. He averaged 5.5 points and 2.3 rebounds and shot 41.2 percent from the three-point line.

Bennett graduated from Lafayette in 2017 and was first team All-State as a senior after averaging 16.7 points, 5.9 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game.

When Bennett signs his letter of intent with Missouri Western he’ll be the sixth recruit in the Class of 2019 and the first transfer for MWSU head coach Sundance Wicks.
