Wing Transfer Skylar Wicks Receives Extra Year of Eligibility From NCAA

Surprisingly, according to 247Sports’ Dushawn London, Gonzaga Bulldogs commit Skylar Wicks has been granted a waiver from the NCAA for an additional year and his final season of college basketball eligibility. The 6-6 Saint Francis Red Wolves hybrid wing transfer since early July will now officially suit up for the Zags for the 2026-27 season, having received the approval on Aug. 4.

Wicks, a Jersey City, New Jersey native, was named to the All-Northeast Conference Third Team this past season after averaging 17.8 points (led team) on a 41.0 field goal percentage/36.3 three-point percentage/72.5 free throw percentage in the Northeast Conference. He also chipped in 6.7 rebounds (led team), 2.8 assists, and 1.4 steals in 28 starts for Saint Francis.

The 26-year-old journeyman has been across the country throughout his collegiate career:

With this addition of veteran bench support out on the perimeter, Gonzaga’s upcoming roster in Spokane, Washington, has 14 of the 15 roster spots potentially filled at this point. They still await eligibility news from the NCAA regarding 6-3 point guard Nathan De Sousa from France’s Cholet Basket and 6-10 power forward/center Izan Almansa from Spain’s Real Madrid.
