Freshman forward Trevon Brazile, who came back from an early-season health issue to become an essential building block, has entered the NCAA transfer portal.
Brazile, a Springfield native, started the final 23 games of the season for the Tigers and posted 6.6 points and 5.1 rebounds while shooting 53.5 percent from the floor. Brazile’s rim protection, especially rotating from the weak-side of the floor, became essential insurance for a roster lacking size and struggling at times defensively. His 10.1 block percentage ranked 28th nationally, per KenPom. However, the 6-foot-9 newcomer eventually found his footing as a perimeter defender when opponents hunted him in switches.
