Showed flashes during the month of March, contributing four points in eight minutes to a Big 12 Tournament win over Colorado (Mar. 10) and season-highs five points and three steals in 11 minutes to help the Cowboys past first-round NIT foe Davidson (Mar. 17)… Also logged over 10 minutes in the second round against Wichita State (Mar. 22) and tallied three rebounds and a pair of blocks.
Lutz on Ragland:
"We always want to play through our big men, and Mekhi gives us that ability. He's a strong and physical post presence who has an outstanding feel for the game, particularly as a passer. He has good hands, quick feet and a shooting touch that extends all the way out to the perimeter.”
As a Recruit:
Signed with OSU in the Fall of 2024 over finalists Ole Miss, Mississippi State, DePaul and Georgia State… At the time, ranked No. 123 in On3’s national recruiting rankings.
High School:
Spent his senior year at Sunrise Christian Academy in Bel Aire, Kan. under coach Kyle Lindsted… Missed the entire season due to a foot injury, suffered during preseason practice... Prior to that, was a Georgia Coaches Association Class 7A All-Star following his junior year at Berkmar High School… Made the Atlanta Tipoff Club’s 2023-24 All-Metro Team… In the summer of 2024, ran with Team Huncho on the Adidas 3SSB circuit… In 15 games, averaged 11.1 points and 5.1 rebounds while shooting 60% from the field, 44% from three and 75% at the foul line.
Personal:
Originally from New Jersey but moved to the Atlanta area in high school… Birthday is March 30.... Majoring in Psychology... Comes from a basketball family. Cousins include Auburn guard Tahaad Pettiford and Washington Wizards guard guard Sharife Cooper.
