Mercer’s high-usage playmaking guard with scoring punch
Okojie is one of Mercer’s most important engines in 2025-26, averaging 19.7 points, 5.3 assists and 3.1 rebounds per game while giving the Bears a steady backcourt creator who can both score and set the table.[4][6] He was named to the Atlantic 10 All-Rookie Team and has shown he can handle a larger role, including a big early-season stretch and a SoCon Player of the Week run that highlighted his efficiency and two-way activity.[1][3] Beyond the numbers, reports describe him as a personality-driven competitor who has battled through a winding path across North America, suggesting toughness, adaptability and upside for teams needing a dynamic guard.[2]
