Simon Akena brings size, scoring punch, and two-way versatility to Northern State's backcourt
Akena looks like a high-upside fit because, in the 2025-26 season, the 6-foot-6 senior guard has already shown he can score in bunches, rebound well for a wing, and impact games defensively with steals.[1][2][4][5] He entered Northern State after averaging 13.2 points and 3.6 rebounds at Westminster in 2024-25, and early Wolves reporting shows him as a steady double-figure threat, with games of 16, 15, and 14 points plus active board work. His best selling point is versatility: big guard frame, efficient finishing when he's rolling, and enough length to bother opponents on both ends.[4][5][7]
