Farr Headed to Pac-12

OTTUMWA --- Dijon Farr, an all-Region 11 basketball player for Indian Hills Community College the past two seasons, is headed to the Pac-12 to continue his career.

Farr has signed a letter-of-intent with the University of Utah, which along with the University of Colorado, will enter the Pac-12 this fall.

Farr, a 6-6 forward from Pacolet, S.C., was a first-team all-region selection this past season after averaging 9.6 points and 5.4 rebounds for the Warriors. He also led the team in steals (50) and blocked shots (29).

As a freshman, Farr led Indian Hills in scoring with an 11.9 average and was second in rebounds (4.2 rpg) and 3-pointers (44). He was a second-team pick on the all-region squad.

“Dijon can play multiple positions and brings great athleticism to the perimeter, both as a scorer and a defender,” said Utah head coach Larry Krystkowiak.

Farr started 64 of 66 games in his IHCC career and the team was 48-18 over the past two seasons.

Ironically, Utah is the school where new Indian Hills head coach Barret Peery was an assistant the last three years before coming to IHCC.
