Matthew Warren Mobley[1] (born September 1, 1994) is an American professional basketball player for Trepça of the Kosovo Basketball Superleague. He played college basketball for St. Bonaventure and Central Connecticut State.

Early life

[edit]

Mobley is the son of Ronald and Pamela Mobley and grew up in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Worcester, Massachusetts. As a child he always begged his mother to go to the playground where he would play basketball against teenagers. Mobley developed into a star at St. Peter-Marian High School averaging 28.2 points, 10.1 rebounds, and 7.3 assists per game as a senior. He led the team to the Central Massachusetts Division 1 title game, earned 2012 Hometeam Player of the Year honors, and was a finalist for the Massachusetts Gatorade Player of the Year award. He opted to spend a postgraduate year at Worcester Academy and developed into a good scorer after Rene Castro was injured.[2] Besides Castro, who later played against Mobley at Duquesne, Mobley played alongside several future Division 1 players at Worcester Academy: Darryl Reynolds (Villanova), Matt Cimino (George Washington/American) and Matt Panaggio (Mercer).[3]
