Coach Miles on Will
“Will McClendon brings the type of character and talent we need at San Jose State. He is a two-way guard that can make plays with the ball in his hand or off the ball. He has competed at a high level in high school and college. Defensively, Will has the ability to guard multiple positions and adds much needed flexibility in our backcourt. We are very excited to have Will on board and can’t wait to get to work!”
