HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. – Northern Kentucky men's basketball coach Darrin Horn has made his second National Signing Day signee official as Randall Pettus II joins the Norse program out of Bessemer City High School in North Carolina.
 
Pettus II just concluded his junior year that ended with Southern Piedmont 1A/2A Boys Player of the Year honors after he averaged better than 25 points, five rebounds and five assists per game. Pettus II helped guide the Yellow Jackets to a 23-5 record overall and a share of the Southern Piedmont 1A/2A Championship. It was the program's deepest playoff run since 1995.
 
The 6-3 point guard was ranked as the 47th prospect overall out of the state of North Carolina by PrepHoops.com.
 
"Randall is a dynamic scoring point guard with excellent athleticism and ability to separate and create on the offensive end," Horn said. "He shoots with tremendous range and has the potential to be a playmaker on the defensive end as well."
 
Pettus II is also a member of the elite Charlotte Aces AAU club and played wide receiver for the Bessemer City High School football program. He will join the Norse for the 2023-24 season.
