GREENSBORO, North Carolina -- For Femi Olujobi to keep himself on track to graduate this summer, he’s had to ensure his phone is turned off and put away once he steps into the classroom.
More than 50 programs have called this week after he announced he has received his release from N.C. A&T to explore the possibility of spending his final season of eligibility elsewhere as a graduate transfer.
“I feel like I’m coming out of high school all over again,” he said. “It’s been a roller coaster these past few days, I can’t even put my phone down … it’s fun — and stressful — but it just goes to show what putting in the work can do for you.”
Olujobi is in high demand after one season with the Aggies, where he burst onto the scene with 34 points in his debut and let the nation in scoring for several weeks before averaging 16.3 points and 7.7 rebounds in helping A&T to its first 20-win season since 2012-13.
Butler University is in the mix for a player who could become the third New Yorker on its college basketball roster.
Femi Olujobi, a 6-8 power forward from North Carolina A&T, announced Saturday on Twitter that Butler is among his final four transfer destinations. The others are Georgetown and DePaul, also in the Big East, and Hofstra.
