Colorado Mesa University Athletics

Prep: 2026 graduate of Rock Canyon High School… Helped lead the Shawn Palmer coached Jaguars to the 6A state title… Was the first person in Rock Canyon history to average a double-double… Earned all-state and First Team All-Centennial League honors… Scored 15 points in the state title game — including seven in the fourth quarter — and gave the Jaguars the lead back with a gritty inside basket in the closing minutes.

Personal: Is majoring in finance… Son of Amy and Mike… Aspires to play professional basketball… Likes to hang out with friends and family and go for long walks on the beach.

Why I Chose CMU: “For the great facilities, great coaches and a supportive environment.”
 
Coach DeWeese's Comments: "A state champ from Rock Canyon, Kai is an athletic and high-motor front-court player.  He has the great intangible of a willingness to out-work his opponent.  Kai has great upside and versatility that we really value.  With his continued growth and development, Kai can be a match-up issue for opposing teams in the RMAC."
