Gerald Isaiah Armwood (born December 28, 1990) is an American basketball player, currently with DEAC. A 6'9 power forward, Armwood played college basketball at Villanova and George Washington.
Coming out of Montrose Christian School, Armwood was the 41st ranked recruit according to ESPN. Armwood began his collegiate career at Villanova, where he averaged 2.3 points and 2.1 rebounds per game as a freshman. He improved those numbers to 2.5 points and 3.6 rebounds per game as a sophomore. Due to not receiving much playing time, he decided to transfer to George Washington University and had to sit out the 2011-12 season as a redshirt. George Washington coach Mike Lonergan called Armwood “the first impact recruit we really had.” Armwood chose George Washington after mulling his options at Maryland, Iowa, and Texas Tech.
“It was harder than I expected,” Armwood said of his redshirt year. “I thought it was going to be kind of easy -- just work out every day on my game, but it was a lot harder. I wasn’t used to sitting out.” In his junior season, Armwood led the Colonials in scoring (11.9 points per game), rebounding (8.8 per game) and blocked shots (2.3 per game). He nearly posted a triple double with 12 points, 10 rebounds and seven blocks in a game against Kansas State. As a senior, Armwood teamed with fellow transfer Maurice Creek in leading George Washington to a 24-9 record and NCAA Tournament berth. In the Round of 64 against Memphis, Armwood tallied 21 points and 5 rebounds in a 71-66 loss to the Tigers. He averaged 12.7 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks per game and was named Second Team All-Atlantic 10.
