size-and-defense depth piece for Quinnipiac
Akinniyi is a low-usage forward whose value is more about **defensive length, rebounding potential, and physical energy** than box-score production; in the 2024-25 season, he played in six games for Quinnipiac and recorded a block against Siena and a rebound against Canisius.[10][5] His advanced numbers show very limited minutes but a defensive profile that can help in short bursts, making him a plausible fit for a team looking for an active, role-specific frontcourt defender rather than a featured scorer.[2][8]
