Bio
Prior to UNC
2023-2025 (Eastern Arizona): Ericksen played a pivotal role in one of the most successful two-year stretches in EAC history, helping lead the program to a combined 55-11 record, back-to-back Region 1 championships, and a No. 17 national ranking in the final NJCAA poll of the 2024-25 season. As a sophomore, he averaged 12.2 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per game while shooting 40.3% from three-point range. His ability to impact the game on both ends of the floor and his versatility on the wing caught the attention of several Division I programs.
High School: Ericksen starred at Syracuse High School where he averaged 17 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2.5 steals per game as a senior. He earned 6A First Team All-State and First Team All-Region honors and was widely regarded as one of the top high school prospects in Utah during his class.
