CINCINNATI — The Cincinnati men’s basketball team has added transfer David Iweze to its 2026-27 roster, first-year head coach Jerrod Calhoun announced Friday. Iweze, a forward from Roanoke, Texas, redshirted last season as a freshman at Utah State.

“David is a really talented young prospect,” Calhoun said. “He will bring a physical presence to our group. David made significant strides in his first year in college as a redshirt. He will be excited to see the floor, can impact rebounding and bring a really physical presence as a young player in the Big 12.”

Iweze was a three-year letterwinner at iSchool Entrepreneurial Academy in Lewisville, Texas, where he averaged 11.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.5 blocks per game as a senior. He helped the Cougars to a 22-6 record and a third-place finish at Prep Nationals in that senior season after going for 12.5 points, 8.2 rebounds and 3.0 assists as a junior.
