CLINTON, S.C. – Presbyterian Blue Hose head men's basketball coach Quinton Ferrell announced the signing of Amare Anderson, a 6-foot-1 guard from Greer, South Carolina, and Augustine Ayelyine, a 6-foot-10 forward from Jacksonville, Florida.  
 
AMARE ANDERSON
Greer, S.C., Greer High School
 
In 2024, Anderson was the 4A Region 2 Player of the Year.

|"Amare Anderson is a 6-1 combo guard who is a tremendous athlete and is very explosive," Ferrell said. "He is great at attacking and getting downhill, he has the ability to finish above the rim in the half court. He is one of the best scorers in the state of SC. He is a three-level scorer and also a young man who shines on the defensive side of the floor. Amare will be a huge asset to both our campus and community, he is a high-character young man who will represent our program at an elite level. I look forward to Amare and his family being a part of our Blue Hose family!"
 
Anderson is a two-time All-State, All-Region, and All-County selection who has scored over 1,800 points in his Greer High School career.
 
"Amare is a fearless competitor who loves the big moment," said Greer High School Coach Devin Liferidge. "His passion for the game is unmatched and his will to win is a skill. We were blessed to have him for four years as the foundation of our basketball program. More importantly, we are excited about the next chapter in his life at Presbyterian College."
 
AUGUSTINE AYELYINE
Jacksonville, Fla., University Christian School
 
Ayelyine is ranked among the Top 50 players in the state of Florida according to Florida Prep Hoops and one of the top four players in northeast Florida by RepsOnReps Hoops.
 
"Augustine Ayelyine is a 6-10 forward who has a special combination of size and athleticism," Ferrell said. "He has a tremendous motor and plays extremely hard. His ability to rebound and block shots is second to none. Augustine is a great finisher around the rim and can score facing the basket. He also can make perimeter jump shots. Augustine is a great young man with great character and he will be a huge asset to not only our program but the campus and community as a whole. I look forward to Augustine and his family being a part of our Blue Hose family!"
 
Last season, he earned All-Conference honors after averaging 10.3 points and 11.2 rebounds per game while shooting 55 percent from the field. He plays AAU for Team Loaded NC for Coach Chris Brown and helped lead his team to a semifinal appearance on the Adidas Gauntlet circuit. 
 
"Augustine Ayelyine has improved so much from this season to now," University Christian School Coach Jody Bailey said. "His growth has shown with the time he has put in daily to get better at his craft. The Presbyterian fan base will appreciate his relentless effort and his great toughness. Augustine wants to be special and he believes he can do that for Presbyterian College and so do I. He plays with contagious enthusiasm that is exactly what a coach is looking for in a recruit and his teammates will appreciate playing with him."
