WICHITA, Kan. - Wichita State head men's basketball coach
Paul Mills announced the signing of Damon Miles to a financial aid agreement Friday morning.
Miles, a native of Houston, Texas, is finishing his prep career at Clear Lake High School. He is the first high school signee since the class of 2025 for Wichita State. Miles is rated a 4-star guard and the No. 143 overall recruit in the 247 Sports national 2027 class. Rivals lists Miles at No. 158 nationally, No. 8 among combo guards and No. 13 among prospects from Texas. ESPN and Rivals have rated him as a 3-star prospect. The Shockers landed Miles over TCU, Texas A&M, Maryland, LSU-New Orleans and Texas A&M Corpus Christi.
"We are thrilled to welcome Damon and his family to Shocker Nation," Mills said. "He has a knack for scoring in a variety of ways, and his shooting gravity will help our team. His ability to make plays for himself and his teammates require defenses to account for his shooting and decision making. He possesses great lateral speed to stay in front of players on the defensive end, and his length allows him to be disruptive by generating steals and deflections. We're excited about the impact he can have, and we look forward to having him in Wichita."

As a junior at Clear Lake High School in Houston last season, Miles averaged 27.4 points, 4.9 rebounds and 4.0 assists in 35 games.

He poured in a school record 47 points in a 66-63 victory over Deer Park last season. Miles is the fourth Shocker to sign out of high school under Mills from the Houston area, along with current Shockers

Pierre Couisnard.
