Adong Makuoi brings high-efficiency size and veteran rim protection to Tennessee State
Adong Makuoi is a strong-fit, old-school center who, in the 2022-23 season at Tennessee State, averaged 9.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks while shooting 61.5% from the field in 32 starts[2][4][7]. He’s the kind of big who quietly tilts games with finishing efficiency, rebounding, and shot blocking, and Tennessee State leaned on him as a steady interior presence rather than a flashy volume scorer[2][7]. If a team needs a physical, low-drama rim protector who knows how to play his role and wins possessions, he’s your guy[2][4].
