He maintains a cumulative GPA of 4.0”.
A four-year varsity letterman at Blair Oaks, Northweather earned all-conference, all-district, and Class 3 all-state honors as a junior. Nestled in the center of the state, hidden from the media spotlight of Kansas City and St. Louis you can find a top talent in Wardsville, Missouri. A talented and dominant big man, Northweather features a unique combination of size and athleticism. He displays a deft touch from the perimeter and the ability to run the floor and dominate on defense.
In the fall, Northweather announced he will attend Truman State University and compete in the Great Lakes Valley Conference. "Eric is a complete post player who can go inside and outside”, shared Jeff Horner on signing day. “Not only does he finish at the rim with great athleticism, one of his best attributes is his 3-point shooting. His motor is second to none and he comes from a great program at Blair Oaks High School. Along with being a great student, Eric is most importantly a great person and we are excited to have him at Truman State University."
