Ruffin was a Class 6 All-State selection during his senior season at Nixa. He helped lead the Eagles to a state runner-up finish that year.
We named him First-Team All-O-Zone after that senior season.
Ruffin heads to a Lindenwood program that recently transitioned from Division II to Division I.
The Lions will first be eligible to earn an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament in 2026-27.
