The University of Delaware men’s basketball program announced on May 5 that transfer Kachi Nzeh will join the Fightin’ Blue Hens for the 2026-27 season. Head coach Martin Ingelsby said Nzeh is expected to strengthen the team’s front line.
Nzeh’s addition is seen as important for both offensive and defensive play. “We are thrilled to welcome Kachi to our Blue Hen basketball family,” Ingelsby said. “He is an impact forward that will bolster our front line and give us both offensive and defensive versatility. Welcome to Newark, Kachi!”
Nzeh, a 6-foot-8 forward, played last season at Little Rock where he started all 32 games and averaged 11.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, along with contributing assists and blocks per game. He previously attended Penn State during the 2024-25 season, making two starts in 29 appearances while averaging modest scoring and rebounding numbers but shooting over sixty percent from the field.
Earlier in his collegiate career, Nzeh played at Xavier where he appeared in nineteen games with four starts as a freshman. Before college, he was rated as one of Pennsylvania’s top high school players by recruiting services and earned several individual honors during his time at The George School.
The signing of Nzeh brings additional experience to Delaware’s roster ahead of next season.
