There’s much more to Tobe Awaka off the court! Good Q&A here with one of our graduates.

During his time in Tucson, Tobe Awaka has built a well-earned reputation as one of the toughest, most tenacious members of the Wildcat community. Students and professors alike marvel at Awaka's tireless work ethic.

And he's a pretty good basketball player, too.

Awaka was among the most significant contributors to the men's basketball team's remarkable 2025-2026 season, which saw the Wildcats earn the program's first Final Four berth in a quarter century. Awaka, the Big 12 Conference's Sixth Man of the Year, averaged 9.1 rebounds – the second-highest number in the conference – and led all college basketball players in offensive rebounding percentage, where he pulled down 20.2% of available offensive rebounds while he was on the court. Awaka recorded eight double-doubles (games where he tallied more than 10 points and 10 rebounds) and turned himself into a fan favorite with his thunderous dunks and relentless hustle.

He did all of this while balancing coursework from the Eller College of Management where Awaka studies business administration. The Collegiate Sports Communicators recently recognized Awaka's efforts, becoming the sixth U of A men's basketball player named to the organization's Academic All-American team. https://bit.ly/4dG6ijp
