Tennessee Career
2024–2026 · F
A two-year Vol after transferring from Ohio State, Okpara anchored Tennessee's interior defense, finishing second in program history in career blocks per game (1.59) — the most ever by a two-year Volunteer — and setting the school record for blocks in a single NCAA Tournament (13). In his final season he averaged 8.0 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.5 blocks while shooting 59.7% from the field.
Pro Journey
2026 Draft · 2nd round, pick 46 · Orlando Magic
The Orlando Magic drafted Okpara 46th overall in the 2026 NBA Draft; his rights were then traded to the Washington Wizards.
Why Vol Nation Should Watch
Okpara hasn't played an NBA regular-season game yet — his rookie season tips off in October 2026 — but a rim-protecting big who shot 60% from the floor in the SEC is a profile teams like to develop. Worth watching his role once Washington's season begins.
