The North Platte Community College Knights basketball team bolsters their front court by the signing of two players, David Ramon-Prada and Jon Reese Woodson for the upcoming 2015 – 2016 season.

Ramon-Prada, originally from Madrid, Spain, is a 6’ 8” forward.  He will come to the Knights as a transfer from the University of Illinois – Chicago (UIC), where he redshirted.

Ramon-Prada is regarded as a very good long-range shooter.  In the 2013 Spain National U18 Championship League, Ramon-Prada shot 48 percent from behind the arc.  In the U16 Madrid Regional Championship, Ramon-Prada led his team to the tournament title and won most valuable player honors with 22 points and 12 rebounds.

As a student, Ramon-Prada attended Virgen de Atocha High School and was awarded an honors diploma from the Madrid Regional Government, averaging 9.7 on a 10.0 scale.  At UIC , he majored in engineering.

Woodson, a 6’7” power forward, was a four-year starter at Carroll High School in Corpus Christi, Texas. As a senior, Woodson averaged 15 points, 10 rebounds, two assists, and two blocks per game.  He was named to the First Team All-District and Second Team All-South Texas.

Woodson was in the Top 20 percent of his graduating class with a 3.32 grade point average.  He was a First Team All-Academic.

These two signings brings the Knights 2015 – 2016 recruiting class to five.  Earlier they signed Jordan Mills from Alliance, Diontae Champion from Arlington, Texas and Tim Wagner from Galesville, Wis.
