Men’s Hoops Inks Center Transfer, Yusuf Jihad

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) -- The Eastern Michigan University men's basketball and first-year Head Coach Stan Heath signed Yusuf Jihad (Farmington Hills, Mich.-North Farmington (Oakland)) to the team's 2021-22 roster, the team announced today, Aug. 2.

Jihad will join the Eagles after spending the last two seasons at Oakland University. The center will be considered a junior in the classroom, but a redshirt freshman athletically for the 2021-22 campaign.

"Yusuf is an active high energy player. At 6-foot-8 and 215, he runs the floor well, goes after rebounds, and is working hard on his perimeter and post skills," Heath said.
