NATCHITOCHES – The Northwestern State men's basketball program strengthened its future backcourt during the early signing period as head coach Rick Cabrera announced the additions of a high-scoring junior college standout and a skilled pair of twin guards for the Demons' 2027 signing class.
The group brings scoring punch, size on the perimeter and long-term developmental upside, blending junior college production with high school versatility.
All three guards arrive with extensive winning experience and the ability to impact multiple positions in Cabrera's system.
Doyle Brown, G, 6-3, 190, Fairfax, Va. (Bethel Academy/Richard Bland College)
Brown enters Northwestern State after a prolific run at Richard Bland College, where he averaged 19 points per game on 50 percent shooting and 41 percent from 3. He was named first-team Region 10 and led the region in scoring, establishing himself as one of the most efficient guards in the junior college ranks.
Prior to his JUCO career, Brown starred at Bethel Academy, lettering three years and averaging double-figure scoring totals in each of those years, topped by a 23.6 mark as sophomore. During his freshman campaign Brown helped fuel an 11–2 record and a state championship, setting the foundation for a consistent, high-level prep career.
Antoine Almuttar, G, 6-4, 200, Kansas City, Mo. (Parish Episcopal School)
A 6-4 guard with size and poise, Antoine joins Northwestern State after a four-year varsity career at Parish Episcopal School in Dallas, where he served as team captain his junior and senior seasons under coach Ahmad Ajami. A steady two-way presence in the backcourt, he brings a reliable offensive game and defensive versatility to the Demon perimeter group.
Armon Almuttar, G, 6-4, 210, Kansas City, Mo. (Parish Episcopal School)
A strong, physical guard who provides defensive versatility, Armon Almuttar completed a four-year varsity career at Parish Episcopal in Dallas, serving as a two-year team captain. He began his prep journey at Grapevine High School before transferring to Parish Episcopal, developing into a multi-position defender and reliable backcourt presence under coaches Michael Seibert and Ahmad Ajami.
Armon Almuttar brings size, toughness and adaptability to the Demon perimeter rotation as he transitions to the collegiate game.
