Jakhi Calloway and Dhani Miller have signed grant-in-aid agreements to join the Kent State University men’s basketball team.
Calloway is an All-Ohio point guard out of Columbus Bishop Hartley High School. He helped lead the Hawks to a Division III regional final appearance against Louisville. He hit six 3s and scored 21 points in a loss to the Leopards, who went on to win the state title.
Calloway has also played AAU basketball with Nova Village Athletic Club. He helped lead his team to the 16U Under Armour Rise championship.
“He’s a guy that we targeted as a junior,” Kent State head coach Rob Senderoff said in a statement. “We’ve watched him play all throughout his high school career and AAU career. He plays for a great coach and for a great high school basketball program. He really has the ability to break down the defense, competes defensively and knows how to make other guys better.”
Miller plays for Montverde Academy in Roselle, N.J. Senderoff has known his father Rae for over 30 years. Rae Miller works as an NBA scout for the Orlando Magic.
“We went and watched him this summer and he immediately became our top priority in the high school class for 2026,” Senderoff said. ” ,,, Dhani’s versatility, basketball IQ, competitiveness and ability to soar and shoot the ball are really impressive for a kid his age. He has played all his life with great players and understands how to be impactful with those caliber players.”
