James Nnaji Shakes Up College Basketball: Baylor Star Enters Transfer Portal—Where Will He Land Next?
The first Baylor player to reportedly signal that he’s entering this year’s transfer portal wasn’t even on the team when the 2025-26 season started.
James Nnaji, who joined the Bears midseason and made his collegiate debut at 21 years old after being selected in the 2023 NBA Draft, plans to hit the portal, according to multiple reports Tuesday.
The 7-foot center appeared in 18 games for a 17-17 Baylor team that finished 13th in the Big 12, and he averaged only 1.4 points in 8.2 minutes per game. Baylor brought aboard the Makurdi, Nigeria, native to help their frontcourt, but that addition wound up stirring more controversy than production.
