Zeke Nnaji is named the Pac-12 Freshman of the year

At the start of the Arizona Basketball season, Zeke Nnaji was one of the least talked about players out of the talented group of freshmen who were coming on to campus this year! Of course dominating the attention was Nico Mannion and Josh Green.

However, by the end of it all, it was Nnaji who shined the brightest!

Hailing all the way from Hopkins, Minnesota and considered just a four-star recruit in the class, Zeke was a rather slim, 6-feet-11-inches and 215 pounds at that time. Fast forward to many months later, and we have witnessed incredible growth from this young man, especially as Nnaji has become a dominant post player in college basketball!
