Former Iowa forward Owen Freeman, the 2023-24 Big Ten Freshman of the Year, has signed with Creighton.

The 6-foot-10 Freeman averaged 16.7 points and 6.7 rebounds in 19 starts this season for the Hawkeyes before missing the final two months following finger surgery. He shot 63.8% from the field and blocked 35 shots. Freeman has two years of eligibility remaining.

“He is a proven scorer at the high major level and is only scratching the surface in terms of his potential,” Creighton coach Greg McDermott said. “Our offense will allow his versatility to be on full display. We can’t wait to have him in a Bluejay uniform.”

The Bluejays also secured a transfer from Nik Graves, a junior guard who averaged 17.5 points a game this season with Charlotte.

Former Georgia Tech starter Naithan George, one of the top points guards in the NCAA transfer portal, told ESPN on Friday that he’s committed to Syracuse.

George, who led the Atlantic Coast Conference in assists this season, said he chose the Orange over a list of schools that include North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Stanford. He averaged 12.3 points, 6.5 assists and 4.2 rebounds as a sophomore.
