High school career

[edit | edit source]

Penn attended Bishop Noll Institute in Hammond, Indiana, winning one regional and three sectional titles. As a senior, he averaged 15.5 points, 6.1 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game.[1] Penn, who stood 5 ft 10 in (1.78 m), did not receive offers from any NCAA Division I programs due to his size, and opted to attend Don Bosco Prep in Crown Point, Indiana.[2] After one semester, he committed to playing college basketball for Siena after being recruited by assistant coach Jordan Watson.[3]

College career

[edit | edit source]

Penn enrolled early at Siena, practicing and working on the scout team during his first semester.[3] He entered the starting lineup as a freshman.[4] On November 25, 2017, Penn recorded 14 points and a season-high 11 assists in an 85–76 win over Hofstra.[5] He missed his final nine games with a stress fracture and a cyst in his heel and underwent surgery.[6] Penn averaged 9.7 points, 4.9 rebounds and three assists per game. Following the season, he was released from his scholarship with the departure of head coach Jimmy Patsos.[7]

Penn transferred to Drake, choosing the Bulldogs over Northern Illinois, Kent State and Wright State.[7] He sat out for his next year due to NCAA transfer rules.[8] On March 6, 2020, at the MVC tournament quarterfinals, Penn recorded a sophomore season-high 26 points, eight rebounds and eight assists, leading his team to an upset win over first-seeded Northern Iowa, 77–56.[9] As a sophomore, he averaged 12 points, an MVC-leading 5.6 assists and 4.7 rebounds per game.[10] He earned Third Team All-MVC and All-Newcomer Team honors.[11] On December 18, 2020, Penn scored a junior season-high 25 points in a 75–57 win over South Dakota.[12] He suffered a season-ending broken foot against Evansville on February 21. As a junior, Penn averaged 11.2 points and an MVC-best 5.5 assists per game.[13] On December 5, 2021, he was ruled out indefinitely after reinjuring his foot.[14] Penn returned to game action on January 2, 2022, after missing seven games.[15] He averaged 11.1 points and 3.9 assists per game as a senior, setting the Drake record for assists.[16] He earned Third Team All-MVC honors at the conclusion of the regular season.[17] Penn repeated on the First Team All-MVC in 2022-23 and received votes for Player of the Year, though the honor ultimately was earned by teammate Tucker DeVries.[18]
