NCAA: Portal roundup - Georgia, Butler top scorers look to transfer

Jeremiah Wilkinson, who led Georgia with 17.4 points per game this season, confirmed through his representatives that he will enter the portal. The 6-foot-1 guard spent one season at Georgia after playing his freshman year at Cal, where he earned ACC Sixth Man of the Year honors for 2024-25. Across 63 career games, Wilkinson averaged 16.3 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per game. This past season, he shot 35.7% from three-point range while contributing 2.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists over 31 games, including 21 starts. He capped his sophomore campaign with a 30-point performance, making seven of 15 from beyond the arc, in Georgia’s first-round NCAA Tournament loss to Saint Louis.

Butler guard Finley Bizjack, the Big East’s third-leading scorer at 17.1 points per game, is also entering the transfer portal while testing NBA draft waters. Bizjack was named All-Big East third team after shooting 42.6% overall (34.9% from three-point range) and averaging 2.5 assists and 2.2 rebounds per game. Over three seasons at Butler, he posted career averages of 10.4 points and 2.1 rebounds in 98 games.

Meanwhile, German big man Sananda Fru will transfer after his freshman season at Louisville. The 6-foot-11 forward impressed by shooting 75.3% from the field (76.5% on 2-pointers), averaging 9.0 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks per game in 35 appearances.

Colorado will likely see multiple departures. Forwards Sebastian Rancik and Bangot Dak, the team’s third- and fourth-leading scorers, intend to transfer. Rancik averaged 12.3 points and 5.6 rebounds in 29 games, while 7-foot Dak posted 11.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks in 32 games. They follow freshman guard Isaiah Johnson (16.9 points per game), who has already entered the portal.

Ohio State forward Devin Royal, a three-year starter, will also test the portal. Royal averaged 13.7 points per game this past season, matching last year’s output, and added a 3-point shot to his game, hitting 31 of 98 attempts.

Jackson State guard Daeshun Ruffin, the fifth-leading scorer in Division I and 2025 SWAC Player of the Year, will enter the portal. Ruffin averaged 23.3 points, 5.3 assists, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.6 steals in 28 starts this season. He previously played at Ole Miss and needs an NCAA waiver for eligibility next year.

Montana’s two-time All-Big Sky selection Money Williams plans to transfer after averaging 20.6 points, 4.7 assists, and 4.3 rebounds per game this season. Saint Mary’s center Andrew McKeever, the West Coast Conference’s rebounding leader, will enter the portal with two years of eligibility remaining, averaging 8.2 points and 9.2 rebounds in 33 games. His departure follows longtime coach Randy Bennett’s move to Arizona State.

Finally, Anthony Robinson II will transfer after three years at Missouri. Robinson averaged 8.9 points, 3.1 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.6 steals this season, finishing his career with averages of 7.4 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.7 steals over 96 games.
