Trevor Manuel will be continuing his college basketball career close to home.

The former Everett star announced Wednesday that he will play this season at Division III Olivet College.

"It's official, next year I will be attending Olivet College. Go Comets," tweeted Manuel, who first revealed his decision on WKAR's Current Sports.

The 6-foot-9 Manuel joins Olivet after playing one season at Loyola Marymount in Los Angeles. Manuel appeared in 21 games and averaged 5.5 points and 2.6 rebounds for the Lions after sitting out the early portion of the season due to NCAA transfer rules.

Olivet College will be the third school in as many seasons for Manuel, who was regarded as a top-100 prospect nationally in the 2015 recruiting class when he signed with Oregon out of high school. Manuel, who finished third in the state's Mr. Basketball voting in 2015, left Oregon after nine games and ended up transferring to LMU.

Manuel will be eligible to play immediately at Olivet. The Comets are led by former Charlotte and Lansing Christian coach Steve Ernst. Olivet finished 9-16 in Ernst's debut season leading the program.
