Lawrence Academy guard Denzel Brito just gave his verbal commitment to Loyola University Chicago head coach Jim Whitesell a few minutes ago, according to his coaches at the Groton-based prep school.

The 6-foot-1-inch shooting guard chose a scholarship offer from the Horizon League school over interest from a number of other mid-majors, among them Hofstra, New Hampshire and Florida Atlantic. Interestingly enough, he turned down a football scholarship offer from UConn because he wanted to play basketball in college.

Brito was one several Spartans to win ISL and NEPSAC championships in both football and basketball.
