LANGSTON, Oklahoma -- Langston University head men's basketball coach Stan Holt announced the latest signings of two impact forwards in Kameron Mack and David Hunt for the upcoming 2018-19 season.

Mack, originally from Tallahassee, Fla, most recently competed at Coastal Alabama Monroeville and will have two years left to pay. Hunt, originally from Chicago, Ill., last played at Rend Lake College and joins Langston with three seasons left to play.

Holt is ecstatic about bring both players into the fold and described both student athletes at "6'5 forwards that each bring unique skill-sets to the position."

"I am very excited to welcome Kameron (Mack) to the Langston Lion family," Holt said. "He is a tremendously versatile player who can contribute and help our team win in so many ways. He brings a great deal of athleticism to the court, he finished around the rim very well and he can guard all five positions on the floor. He's the kind of guy every coach needs in his program. We are very lucky to have him."

Mack averaged 7.7 points and 2.6 rebounds on a 21-win team last year and ranked top 5 on the team in scoring and rebounding.

Holt was also excited to welcome Hunt to Langston University, saying that he will bring "toughness, strength, and a physical presence to the program."

At Rend Lake, Hunt posted 11 points, 6.2 rebounds and ranked in the top three on his team in scoring, rebounding, free-throw makes, attempts, and percentage.

"David (Hunt) is a fiery competitor and he'll be an excellent teammate," Holt noted. "His best basketball is still ahead of him. He'll continue to get better and better and I'm excited to see the role David will take year after year in our program. He's a great person off the court, and tremendous talent on the court, and I'm happy he's on our side."

Langston is coming off its third-straight National Tournament appearance in Kansas City, Mo. The Lions open the season on the road vs Jarvis Christian College at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 2,
