Witherspoon was the Class 4A Jeffco player of the year in 2015, and was also selected first-team all-state in 4A.
The graduated senior was a key component in the Jaguars’ run through the 4A state tournament that ended with a 2-1 loss to eventual champion Green Mountain.
In his last start on the mound for D’Evelyn, he went seven innings and gave up only two hits while striking out seven in a 5-0 win over Wheat Ridge.
Witherspoon was a two-sport star at D’Evelyn, averaging 20.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 2.8 steals per game for the school’s boys basketball team, which reached the Great 8. He was a second-team all-4A pick in basketball.
Witherspoon becomes a late addition to the Colorado recruiting class of 2015.
