Former Boston College Men’s Basketball Guard Announces Transfer Destination: The Rundown

Boston College men’s basketball transfer guard Akbar Waheed III is headed to St. Bonaventure. 

“NEWS: Former Boston College guard Akbar Waheed III has committed to St. Bonaventure, he told ESPN,” said ESPN college football senior writer Pete Thamel. “He’s a former four-star prospect who earned two-time All-Met honors at Georgetown Prep. He redshirted this year at BC and has four years remaining.”

The North Bethesda, Md., native spent one season in Chestnut Hill and did not play a game for the Eagles. 

Waheed III was a three-star prospect from the class of 2025. He ranked No. 219 nationally, No. 49 in small forwards, and No. 7 in the state of Md., according to 247Sports Composite. 

He was one of four players in the freshman class for Boston College, joining forward Jack Bailey, guard Caleb Steger, and guard/forward Marko Radunovic. All of them except Bailey have entered the transfer portal this offseason.

Last season, St. Bonaventure went 17-17 overall, 4-14 in A10 play, and made an appearance in the A10 Tournament where it lost to Dayton in the quarterfinals 68-63 to end its season.
