UCF head men's basketball coach Johnny Dawkins added Texas big man Ed'Xavior Rhodes to the Knights program, signing the Dallas forward to a National Letter of Intent on Monday.

A 6-foot-9 forward out of Dallas, Texas, Rhodes is rated as a three-star recruit by Rivals and has been ranked as one of the top power forwards in the class.

"Our staff is excited to bring Ed'Xavior in as a part of our UCF family," Dawkins said. "He's a skilled big man, who can do a lot of things on the basketball court. He runs the floor well, can defend the basket and can step outside and knock down a shot. We can't wait to get him here in Orlando."

Rhodes averaged 20 points, nine rebounds, and 2.5 blocks per game as a senior at Skyline High School in Dallas.

He joins P.J. Edwards and Darius Johnson in UCF's 2021-22 recruiting class. Johnson signed with the Knights back in November, while Edwards signed last Thursday.
