Miftah Ibiyemi brings local grit and steady backcourt depth to Rhode Island
In the 2024-25 season, Miftah Ibiyemi gave Rhode Island a low-usage, defensive-minded guard option after arriving as a walk-on, averaging 2.0 points and 1.1 rebounds in 14 games; in his 2023-24 season at Johnson & Wales, he posted 1.1 points and 0.9 rebounds across 16 games. He’s a 6-foot-3 Providence native with a combo-guard profile, which suggests toughness, familiarity with the area, and a team-first approach more than headline-grabbing volume. If you want a depth guard who understands his role and can provide reliable minutes, he fits the mold.
