AK Okereke is a senior forward who has been a key part of Vanderbilt's rotation, averaging 9.3 points in 27 games. He takes care of the ball with just 1.1 turnovers per game.
AK Okereke is one of the most unlikely stories in college basketball. The Clovis, California native earned third-team all-state honors at Clovis North High School, averaging 22.3 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 3.4 assists as a senior, but arrived at Cornell as a walk-on with no scholarship. He graduated in just three years with a degree in economics while steadily improving on the court, averaging 9.8 points per game over his Cornell career. As a junior in 2024-25, the 6-7, 241-pound forward broke out with 13.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game on 59.5 percent shooting from the field. Okereke transferred to Vanderbilt for the 2025-26 season under Mark Byington, making the leap from the Ivy League to the SEC and proving that the walk-on path can lead to high-major basketball.
