Glendora, CA - Citrus College sophomore forward Ryan Wiley is the fifth and final member of the 2015-2016 Citrus College Men's Basketball team to sign a scholarship offer. Wiley has accepted an offer from NAIA powerhouse Oklahoma City College.

"I feel like I'm a good fit for Oklahoma City's program," Wiley said. "It's a big school in a major city, and they have a really strong history of success."

Wiley was a major contributor during both of his seasons in the Owls' Nest. Wiley appeared in 57 contests across the two seasons, starting in 43 games. Wiley posted career averages of 9.7 points, 6.8 rebounds per contest and 50.5% shooting from the floor. As a sophomore Wiley 11.3 points and 8.4 boards a game, on his way to All-Western State Conference South Division Honorable Mention honors.

"Citrus has played a big role in my life and this process these last two seasons. It's given me a chance to develop on and off the court," Wiley said. "[Head Citrus College Men's Basketball] Coach Pat[rick Johnson] stressed a lot to us about if you don't get it done in the classroom, you don't get to play, and that's been a huge motivator for me personally. Citrus also provided a good family environment that promotes success."

"Ryan has been a major contributor at Citrus the last two years and was a huge part of our success this season," Johnson said. "He has stayed patient throughout the recruiting process, and I'm so happy to see that patience pay off with a scholarship. I'm proud of all that Ryan has accomplished so far, and excited to see how he does at Oklahoma City."
