Frontline Sports is excited to announce the signing of Francis Okwuosah!

The 6’6” SG is a 2026 graduate of Western Illinois University (NCAA I), where he started 19 of 31 games for the Leathernecks this past season, averaging 22 minutes, 7.3 points, and 3.4 rebounds while knocking down 38% of his threes. A big, sharp-shooting guard who can play off the ball and help a team win, Francis proved he belongs at the Division I level.

Before Western Illinois, he was a star at William Woods University (NAIA) from 2023 to 2025, and that’s where the hardware really piled up. Francis finished as a 2025 NAIA Third Team All-American and left William Woods with his name all over the record book, setting the program’s career 3-point percentage record (39.4%, min. 150 attempts) and sitting 3rd all-time in field goal percentage (53.6%, min. 400 attempts).

🏆 2025 NAIA Third Team All-American 🏆 2025 AMC Tournament MVP 🏆 2025 & 2024 1st Team All-AMC 🏆 2025 & 2024 AMC All-Tournament Team 🏆 2024 AMC Newcomer of the Year 🏆 2024 William Woods Team MVP 🏆 2025 Daktronics NAIA Scholar-Athlete 🏆 2025 CSC Academic All-District 🏆 2025 & 2024 Academic All-AMC

Notice the pattern? Francis is a winner on the court and a standout in the classroom, and that combination of talent, efficiency, and character is exactly what we love to see. He’s put in the work at every stop, and we couldn’t be prouder to have him in the family. The best is still ahead, and we can’t wait to help him take the next step.

Welcome to FSM, Francis!
