Nsikan Usen is a high-motor, rebound-first forward with upside at Central Michigan
Usen is a 6-7 redshirt freshman forward who redshirted the 2025-26 season and has yet to play a college game, so his value is based on projection rather than stats so far. At Lakeland High School, he showed real two-way juice: 14.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.0 steals, and 2.0 blocks per game as a senior, plus all-conference and all-area honorable mention recognition. Recruiting notes describe him as a winner with a very high motor, strong rebounding, and the ability to attack the basket while spacing the floor, which makes him an appealing development fit for a program that wants energy, toughness, and versatility.[1][5][7]
