A 6-foot-3 guard, Greer III committed to Dayton in February, joining Malachi Smith, DaRon Holmes II and Kaleb Washington in the 2021 class. Those four players joined three other newcomers — transfers Toumani Camara, Kobe Elvis and Richard Amaefule — on the 2021-22 roster.
A 2020 graduate of Roman Catholic High School in Philadelphia, Greer III spent a post-graduate year at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla.
