Onyenso began his collegiate career with the Kentucky Wildcats as a four-star recruit and spent two seasons with the program. He led the SEC with 48 blocks in conference play during his sophomore year and entered the 2024 NBA Draft pool before opting to return to college and join Kansas State.
The native of Nigeria averaged 2.8 points and 2.4 rebounds on 70% shooting from the field in 24 games this season. Despite the lack of production, Onyenso remains one of the best shot-blockers in the portal and is expected to draw interest from several programs.
With one season of eligibility remaining, here are five schools that could land the 7-foot center.
