The tallest basketball player in NCAA history is looking for a new team in the offseason. Florida center Olivier Rioux is entering the transfer portal after a middling first non-red shirt season with the Gators.
Rioux, 20, confirmed the news on Instagram, thanking the team and fans for their support.
Rioux is making the move after seeing limited time in just 11 games as a sophomore. He averaged 0.6 points and 0.5 rebounds in just 1.5 minutes per game.
While his first non-red shirt season at Florida didn’t result in many significant moments, he did break a record the instant he stepped on the court. During a November game against North Florida, Rioux broke the record for the tallest-ever college-basketball player to see action in a game, as he tallied two minutes of play during the contest. The 7-foot-9 center did not record any stats in the game, however.
