Chidi Chiakwelu is flashing two-way upside early for Presbyterian
Chiakwelu has already earned Big South Freshman of the Week honors after a strong opening stretch, and his appeal is clear: he brings real size at forward, protects the rim, and has shown efficient scoring touch with a 5-for-6 outing that produced his first career double-figure game. In the 2025 season, he was averaging 5.3 points and 1.2 blocks while coming off the bench, and he also posted a 12-point, 10-rebound, 6-block double-double, signaling impact beyond the box score. He looks like a high-energy, defensive-minded fit for teams needing length, activity, and upside.[1][2][4]
