Brandon Roy Jr. to follow in dad’s footsteps at Washington
Washington head coach Danny Sprinkle reacts to a play against Washington during the first half at Crisler Center in Ann Arbor on Sunday, Jan. 12, 2025. Brandon Roy Jr., the son of the former Washington Huskies and Portland Trail Blazers star, announced Monday that he will attend Washington like his father did.
The 6-foot-2 point guard from Garfield H.S. in Seattle is joining a program with some forward momentum, as head coach Danny Sprinkle has added nine four-star recruits and transfers to his program this offseason.
Roy made the announcement on Instagram, saying in part:
"In 2009 I watched my father's jersey be retired at UW, not knowing one day I'd get to wear it. Thank you to Coach Sprinkle, staff and the University of Washington for giving me a chance."
The elder Roy had his jersey retired by the Huskies after being named a consensus first-team All-American. In the NBA, he was named to three all-star teams and was twice All-NBA, averaging 18.8 points and 4.7 assists per game in an injury-shortened career. He also claimed the Rookie of the Year award in 2006-07.
