Rutgers’ high-motor, switchable forward with upside
In the 2025-26 season, Chris Nwuli gave Rutgers a 6-foot-8, 205-pound forward who played with clear intensity and defensive energy, appearing in 30 games and averaging 2.2 points, 1.5 rebounds, and 10.1 minutes while shooting 37.3% overall and 36.4% from three. He was valued for versatility, speed, and a defensive mindset, and multiple Rutgers sources described him as passionate and intense on the court. If you need a role player who can defend, run, and fit a modern, switchable system, he’s a sneaky-good fit—less about box-score volume, more about edge and utility.
