Olney Central Signs Dynamic Guard Nash Harding for 2025-26 Season

OLNEY, Ill. – Olney Central College Men’s Basketball is proud to announce the signing of Australian standout Nash Harding, a 6’4” athletic guard from Brisbane’s prestigious Anglican Church Grammar School, better known as Churchie. Harding will suit up for the Blue Knights in the 2025-2026 season, bringing elite skill, toughness, and experience to the backcourt.

During his senior season, Harding posted outstanding averages of 20 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 steals per game, leading his team to a remarkable 32-1 record and a GPS/Conference Championship. Churchie’s only loss came in the state quarterfinals, capping off an otherwise dominant campaign. Over the past 15 years, the program has produced 25 NCAA and NJCAA student-athletes, and Harding continues that tradition of excellence.

“Nash is a high-level guard who checks all the boxes,” said Head Coach Grayson Flittner. “He can shoot it from deep, sees the floor really well, and plays above the rim. On top of that, he’s a competitor who’s played and won at a high level. We’re excited about what he brings to the Blue Knights.”

Harding’s athleticism, shot-making, and court vision make him a perfect fit for Olney Central’s fast-paced system. His ability to push tempo and create plays in both transition and the half court will be a key asset from day one.

The Blue Knights continue to focus on adding tough, skilled, and team-first players who are hungry to grow on and off the floor, and Harding fits that mold perfectly.

Welcome to the Blue Knights Family, Nash Harding!
