Deraje Agbaosi brings size, work rate, and depth to New Mexico’s frontcourt
Deraje Agbaosi is a 6-7, 215-pound forward who transferred to New Mexico from North Alabama, where in the 2023 season he played 33 games off the bench and averaged 1.8 points and 2.3 rebounds in 9.2 minutes per game.[2] He redshirted at New Mexico and was described by Richard Pitino as the kind of player who “never has a bad day in practice” and helps the team get better every day, which signals reliable effort and strong practice habits.[5] He looks like a fit for a team that values toughness, size, and low-ego depth more than headline stats.[1][5]
