Hansel Enmanuel, who has captivated the country with his electric play on the high school basketball hardwood this season, is now drawing the attention of big-time college basketball programs.

Enmanuel, a 6-foot-5 combo guard for Life Christian Academy (Florida), is considered one of the Top 50 class of 2022 combo guards in the country - and he's doing it with just one arm. Now Memphis head coach Penny Hardaway has recognized Enmanuel's talent with a scholarship offer.

Enmanuel announced the Memphis offer on Instagram Friday - to the delight of his 1.2 million followers.

Enmanuel, who was born and raised in the Dominican Republic, had his left arm amputated when he was six years old after a wall collapsed on it. He was rescued by his father after being trapped for nearly two hours.

Enmanuel had previously received college offers from Tennessee State and Bethune-Cookman.

Here are photos of Enmanuel from a game earlier this season:
