Collins Akowe, the UAAP Season 87 boys' MVP and Best Foreign Student-Athlete, has committed to the UST Growling Tigers for his collegiate career starting in Season 88.
Akowe, who previously played for the NU Bullpups, averaged 20.94 points, 19.28 rebounds, 2.56 assists, and 1.96 blocks in high school.
The 6-foot-10 Nigerian center chose UST over other UAAP teams, including his former school.
His commitment is timely for the Tigers, as their previous top foreign student-athlete, Mo Tounkara, has left to play professionally overseas.
