Elyon Bush

Elyon Bush was a starring member of the FCC Men’s Basketball team from 2003-2004. He holds the FCC record for most steals in a game surpassing fellow Hall of Fame Inductee Keith Thompson’s previous record of 10. During both his seasons at FCC, Bush was named to the First Team All-Conference Maryland JUCO and First Team All-Region XX. In 2004, he received All-American Honorable Mention recognition. Bush also made the Dean’s List during all four of his semesters at FCC and completed his A.A. degree in Pre-Physical Therapy. 

Bush went on to play at Delaware State University, where he graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology in 2008. While at Delaware State University, Bush helped his team win the MEAC Conference Championship and NIT Tournament twice. After college, he played professionally in Peru, Mexico, Macedonia, and Italy.  

“I thoroughly enjoyed my two years at FCC. During that time, I made lifelong friends and had experiences I will never forget. FCC gave me the time to grow as a basketball player and more importantly as a young man. The school and the coaching staff provided me the opportunity to grow and learn on my own (with a few mistakes) but also provided me all the support I needed to succeed. I could not have picked a better community college to prepare me for a four-year university academically or aesthetically.  -Elyon Bush
