HPU announced the signing of Awa-Williams and Courtney Buster in a release.

Awa-Williams averaged 13.4 points and 5.3 rebounds per game for the Mountain Lions and was named to the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference second team.

"Jazzy is a tremendous all-around player who will be a huge addition to our team," said HPU coach Jeff Harada.
