EX-BASKETBALLER HEADED TO HAWKS
FORMER basketballer Jaime Uhr-Henry will join Hawthorn's AFL list in 2025 as a Category B rookie.The 21-year-old was a member of the Bulleen Boomers and the Dandenong Ranges in NBL One.
Uhr-Henry has spent some time training with Sam Mitchell's squad at Waverley Park in recent weeks and grew up as a Hawthorn supporter.
The 209cm is a project ruck who played some junior football for East Ringwood in the Eastern Football League, but focused predominantly on basketball.
Uhr-Henry hasn't played a game of football since under-17 level, but the Chirnside Park product was scouted by Hawks recruiting boss Mark McKenzie and becomes the latest former basketballer to land in the AFL.
