Andrew Fleming, a 6-foot-7 senior at Oxford Hills High School, has signed a National Letter of Intent to play basketball at the University of Maine, the school announced Wednesday.

Fleming represents the first major in-state signing for Coach Bob Walsh, who was hired in May 2014.

“We are thrilled that Andrew wants to be a Black Bear,” Walsh said in a press release. “He is a high character young man who is an excellent student and his talent and toughness will really fit with the culture of our program. As a versatile forward who is physically and mentally tough, he can help our team in a lot of ways.”

Fleming, ranked as the top 2016 recruit from Maine by the New England Recruiting Report, chose UMaine over Dartmouth and Brown. Fleming was selected to the Maine Sunday Telegram all-state team last winter after averaging 16.6 points, 11.9 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.9 steals as a junior.
