Early life and career
[ edit ]
Majok was born in Rumbek, South Sudan , and moved to Australia when he was eight.[1] His family settled in Perth . He initially played soccer before developing a liking for basketball in high school at Kingsway Christian College.[2] [3] In 2007 and 2008, he played in the State Basketball League (SBL) for the East Perth Eagles and Kalamunda Eastern Suns respectively.[4] [5]
After drawing interest from overseas scouts, Majok moved to the United States and played two years of high school ball at Northfield Mount Hermon School in Massachusetts .[6] [7]
College career

Majok played two seasons in junior college at Midland College in Texas before transferring to Ball State University in Indiana . He played two seasons for the Cardinals , leading the MAC in rebounding and earning third-team all-conference honors in both years.
