Former Louisiana-Lafayette guard Mostapha El Moutaouakkil has committed to Jacksonville State, he announced on social media Monday evening.

Last season saw El Moutaouakkil lead the Ragin’ Cajuns’ scoring efforts with a team-high 14.5 points per game, ranking 12th in the Sun Belt Conference.

The 6-foot-6, 195 guard shot 46% from the field as he started 30 of his 33 games played amidst a 12-21 year for Louisiana.

A native of Morocco and graduate of Eaglecrest High in Denver, Colorado, El Moutaouakkil scored a season-high 28 points against rival ULM and had a double-double for 17 points and 11 rebounds against South Alabama.
