Four Star Junior Mark Armstrong Commits to Villanova

Mark Armstrong, a point guard out of St. Peter’s Prep (NJ) announced his commitment to Villanova on Thursday night.

A day prior to committing to the Cats, Armstrong released his top eight schools of Kansas, Rutgers, Seton Hall, UConn, Auburn, Louisville, Stanford, and Villanova, but also had offers from Creighton, Illinois, and more. Armstrong is the first commit for Jay Wright in the 2022 class.

‘Nova extended an offer to Armstrong on November 23, 2020.

The top 40 prospect in the nation has led St. Peter’s (NJ) in scoring for three straight years, averaging over 14 each year.

The 6’2” combo guard is an incredible scorer and will bring firepower to the Cats offense. With an explosive first step and ability to finish through contact, Armstrong can also rise up and shoot it from deep, making him incredibly tough to guard.
