Abdullah Ahmed, a 22-year-old center for Brigham Young University (BYU) in Provo, Utah, has announced his intention to enter the NCAA transfer portal. This decision comes after a half season with the Cougars, where he was brought in to fill a roster spot following the injury of teammate Nate Pickens. Ahmed, who previously played in the G League, was expected to serve as a backup center but struggled to meet expectations, showing limited offensive skills and inconsistent rebounding. Despite averaging 1.4 blocks per game in just 12 minutes of action, he ultimately did not develop into the player BYU had hoped for. With Ahmed's departure, BYU is now tasked with rebuilding its frontcourt, as he joins fellow teammate Staton in seeking opportunities elsewhere. The Cougars are actively looking for a new starting center through the transfer portal.
