4-Star Freshman Center with Elite Paint Defense and 1.1 BPG Potential
Collins Onyejiaka, a 6'11", 265-lb freshman center from Nigeria (Boston, MA), is a 4-star recruit ranked #100 overall in the 2025 class and #14 center nationally, bringing elite defensive presence with a projected 1.1 blocks per game and 55% FG% in his inaugural 2025-26 season. His differentiators include reclassifying from the 2026 class to join Alabama’s top-ranked roster, a 9.5 PPG and 7.9 RPG junior high school stat line, and a high-intensity, paint-dominating personality that makes him a perfect fit for teams needing rim protection and rebounding. Though he has yet to record collegiate stats, his 2.7 blocks per game high school average and 4-star pedigree signal rapid development into a key contributor, especially for teams prioritizing defensive intensity and interior strength.
