Former Georgia Tech center Ebenezer Dwona, who entered the transfer portal after the season, has revealed where he will play next season.
Dauona will play for reigning Sun Belt champion James Madison's team, which upset Wisconsin in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. He transferred from North Carolina State to Georgia Tech and played one season under Damon Stoudamire.
Dwona showed some improvement defensively during his time with the Yellow Jackets, but will likely try to find a bigger role next season alongside James Madison.
Good luck Ebenezer!
