Miami guard Divine Ugochukwu has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal, On3 has learned. He averaged 5.3 points, 1.9 rebounds and 2.3 assists for the Hurricanes throughout the 2024-25 season.

Ugochukwu played high school basketball at Clements (Sugar Land, TX), where he was a three-star prospect in the 2024 cycle. That’s according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

As a recruit, Ugochukwu held offers from multiple other big-time programs, including Texas A&M and SMU. Will they come calling now that he’s in the transfer portal? That remains to be seen.

Regardless, Divine Ugochukwu will be hoping for more success wherever he ends up next season. Miami fell well short of expectations this past year, and the Hurricanes are looking to put their performance during the 2024-25 campaign behind them.
