West Virginia interim head coach Josh Eiliert announced the official transfer of Akok Akok.
Akok, who is a two-time transfer from UConn and Georgetown, is a fifth-year safety and has one year of eligibility remaining.
“Akok runs the floor extremely well and adds athleticism to our roster,” Eilert said. “He gives us the ability to stretch the floor with his shot-making skill. Akok will give us a bigger defensive presence with his shot blocking, his ability to alter shots around the rim and the way he can sit down and guard. He really gives us many different attributes that we didn’t have. Akok has played a great deal of Big East basketball and brings more experience to our roster.”
At Georgetown, Akok averaged 6.5 points and 6.2 rebounds per game as he started 31 of 31 contests. He added 62 blocked shots. He is listed at 6-foot-10, 205-pounds.
