Michael Nwoye is Cumberland’s breakout freshman frontcourt anchor
Nwoye has emerged as one of the Mid-South Conference’s most productive young bigs in the 2025-26 season, earning Freshman of the Year and Second Team All-Conference honors after averaging 13.1 points, a league-best 9.2 rebounds per game, and shooting 54.4% from the field. At 6-7, he brings efficient scoring, high-end rebounding, and rim protection, with 40 blocks and 225 rebounds in the regular season. He looks like a fit for teams needing a physical, high-motor forward who impacts both ends without needing heavy usage.[1][2][4]
