Northern Colorado Transfer Ring Nyeri Commits to Wake Forest

The Deacs have their 7th addition of the offseason, with Northern Colorado forward Ring Nyeri.

Nyeri is a 6-8 forward who averaged 8.5 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 1 block per game last season for the Bears while shooting 54% from the floor and 35% from beyond the arc. He finished the season 6th in the Big Sky in rebounds, 11th in offensive rebounds, 6th in blocks, and 4th in 2-point field goal percentage. Nyeri was a 3-star prospect and the 192nd best player of the 2024 class per 247Sports. He played his freshman season at UMKC before transferring to Northern Colorado last year. He scored in double figures 13 times last season and grabbed double digit rebounds in 6 games. His best game of the season came against Eastern Washington, where he scored 23 points on 10-15 shooting to go along with 5 rebounds, 1 steal, and 1 block.

Based on some of his highlights, Nyeri is a lanky, athletic wing who is very good at catch and shoot 3’s. At a listed weight of under 200 pounds, he will probably need to live in the weight room in the offseason if he doesn’t want to get bullied in the ACC. Check out some of his freshman year highlights below.
