All-ACC Forward Norchad Omier Transfers to Baylor, Averaged 17 Pts, 10 Rebs

May 6, 2024, 02:20 AM

Norchad Omier, a standout All-ACC forward from Miami, has committed to transfer to Baylor University. Omier, who has been a top performer averaging 17 points and 10 rebounds per season, chose Baylor for its strong basketball program and the opportunity to compete for a national title. His decision comes despite Baylor having one of the lowest Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) offers. Omier, a two-time All-ACC selection, has consistently achieved double-doubles over his four collegiate seasons. His transfer is considered a significant gain for Baylor's coach Scott Drew, who also secured other notable players in the transfer portal.
