Paityn London, a standout guard from Freeport High School, has officially committed to play basketball at DePaul University in Chicago, bringing a blend of skill and determination to the program.

A Comeback Fueled by Determination

Her perseverance has drawn attention from college coaches who admire not only her athletic abilities but also her character, reinforcing confidence that she can thrive in the competitive Big East conference.
DePaul’s women’s basketball program, with a storied history of 25 NCAA Tournament appearances and four Sweet Sixteen runs, offers London a platform to make an immediate impact while continuing her recovery.
Reflecting on her future, London expressed optimism about her ability to bounce back, stating she is eager to contribute to the team’s success and to prove that setbacks can fuel greater ambition.
