Cliff Omoruyi is expected to take the next step and become one of the best big men in the nation this season. He has established himself as an elite player in the Big Ten and was honored as such on Friday.
The Scarlet Knight center was selected to the 2023-24 Preseason All-Big Ten team. He is the third Rutgers player to receive this honor, joining Ron Harper Jr. (2021-22) and Geo Baker (2020-21).
Omoruyi tested the waters of the 2023 NBA Draft but ultimately decided toreturn for his fourth year in Piscataway.
“I’m super excited for the team this year,” Omoruyi said in a press release.
