The 6-foot-8 big man didn't have a lot of involvement this past season, averaging just 2.6 points and 2.2 rebounds on 11.4 minutes per game.

Enters transfer portal Nzeh entered the NCAA's transfer portal Thursday, VerbalCommits.com reports.

Impact Across most of Xavier's 2023-24 season, Nzeh was not a primary forward or center for the team. At the moment, Xavier's 2024-25 team is expected to include Dailyn Swain (abdomen), Jerome Hunter (Achilles) and Zach Freemantle (foot) as available options again. Rather than competing for a prominent role he is likely to miss out on more than not, Nzeh will search for a more favorable opportunity to come his way.
