The Rebounding-First, Defense-Driven Big for New Hampshire
Okpomo’s value is built on defense, glass work, and reliable frontcourt physicality: in the 2024-25 season at New Hampshire, he started 31 games, led the team with 16 blocks, and finished with 162 rebounds (5.2 per game) while shooting 49.0% from the field.[3][4] He also flashed impact rebounding with a season-high 13 boards against UMass Lowell and a string of seven-plus rebound games, showing he can anchor possessions even when the offense is modest.[3] With a 3.52 spring GPA and a reputation as a strong interior defender dating back to Temple, he profiles as a disciplined, low-drama fit for teams needing size, rim protection, and toughness.[14][5]
