Keeyan Itejere brings efficient rim pressure and glass-cleaning grit to Rhode Island
In the 2025-26 season, Keeyan Itejere has been a steady interior piece for Rhode Island, averaging 7.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.4 blocks and shooting 64.8% from the field while starting every game[4][7][15]. His best selling point is the low-drama, high-impact stuff: strong paint finishes, active rebounding, and real rim protection, plus a history of providing pop in big moments like his 18-point, 6-rebound game at Davidson in January 2026[12][13]. Rhody also describes him as an explosive presence in the paint who is still sharpening his touch and versatility[5]. If your team wants a physical forward who plays hard and makes the dirty work look easy, he fits the bill.
