Waqo Tessema brings efficient, mature guard play to Cleveland State
Waqo Tessema, a 6-foot guard from Winnipeg, enters Cleveland State with a rep for steady two-way production and real backcourt polish: in the 2024-25 season at Panola Junior College, he played 35 games with 28 starts, averaged 9.9 points, shot 40% from the field, and posted nearly 3 assists per game with a 1.5 assist-to-turnover ratio. He also comes with a high-upside background as a former high school MVP and multi-event all-star, which hints at competitiveness and a knack for showing up in big moments. Good fit if your team needs a composed connector who can handle, pass, and keep the offense organized.
