Men's Basketball senior guard Jay Yoon looks for an open teammate versus Gonzaga on Feb. 16. Yoon said his dream is to see the 1% of Asian Americans in the NCAA grow tenfold.

In 2019-20, athletes of Asian descent make up less than 1% of all student-athletes in the United States.


One of them resides in Malibu, Calif.

That’s something I really take to heart and that I pride myself in,” Men’s Basketball senior guard Jay Yoon said. “That will carry for the rest of my life knowing that I have and will continue to try and make an impact for the next generation of Asian American athletes.
