NORMAN — OU redshirt junior Jeff Nwankwo will miss the 2024-25 season due to a torn Achilles tendon, according to a report from SoonerScoop.com.

Nwankwo reportedly tore his Achilles tendon during summer training. He underwent surgery and continues to receive a scholarship.

The former Putnam City North basketball and football star played last season at Cowley (Kansas) College after playing football at Tulane.

Three days after withdrawing from Cal, the second-best junior college prospect announced his dedication to OU on May 15 with two years of eligibility remaining. Nwankwo, a 6-foot-6 junior college All-American, averaged 18.6 points, 7.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game last season at Cowley.

Four-star Jeremiah Fears, one of the nation’s top point guards in the 2025 class who announced his commitment to OU on Saturday, is expected to reclassify in the 2024 class and contribute this season. OU lost five of its top six scorers from last season, as well as prized freshman Kaden Cooper, to the transfer portal.

Sooners head coach Porter Moser has yet to declare for the NCAA Tournament as he enters his fourth season at OU.
