Commits to George Mason Oliogu-Elabor has committed to George Mason, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Even though Oliogu-Elabor logged a streak of consecutive conference starts for Butler to end his 2025-26 season, it is worth noting that the Bulldogs dealing with multiple injuries got him a prime opportunity.

In 25 games (10 starts) last season, Oliogu-Elabor averaged 5.0 points, 2.2 rebounds and 2.0 assists.
