BUIES CREEK, N.C. ­– PJ Carter, a 6-foot-5 guard from Atlanta, Ga., has signed a national letter of intent with Campbell University, head coach Kevin McGeehan announced Wednesday.
 
Carter joins the Fighting Camel program from Langston Hughes High School in Fairburn, Ga., where he has been a member of two state championship teams.
 
"PJ is a very good player, said McGeehan, the 2019 Big South Coach of the Year.  "He has a knack for scoring and facilitating for others in many ways and has great length which should be a great quality for us and our defensive schemes. In addition, he is a great fit for our program academically and as a representative of Campbell University."
 
Carter was an honorable mention all-state and chosen the 6-A Most Improved Player by Sandy's Spiel as a junior in 2018-19 when he averaged 19 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.5 steals per game.
 
A 2019-20 preseason all-state selection, Carter was also named to the academic all-region team as a junior.  He plans to major in business administration or trust and wealth management.

Carter joins a Fighting Camel program that is coming off a Big South Conference regular season championship and an NIT berth, the team's third-straight postseason appearance.  He is the third native of Georgia to join the Camels in the last two seasons along with 2019-20 freshmen Joshua Lusane (Americus) and Messiah Thompson (Atlanta).
 
The Camels (2-1) return to action Saturday in a 1 p.m. tip-off at The Citadel.
