Tola Akomolafe brought sturdy frontcourt production and old-school grit to FIU
In his FIU years, Tola Akomolafe was a reliable forward who rebounded, finished through contact, and gave the Panthers physical minutes; in the 2012-13 season, he appeared in 32 games and averaged 4.4 points and 4.1 rebounds, while FIU’s own notes highlighted him as one of only three Panthers with 100-plus rebounds that year. He looks like the kind of glue guy coaches trust: active on the glass, efficient enough inside, and intense without needing the offense to be built around him, which makes him a useful fit for teams needing toughness and depth.
