UConn Freshman Rrezon Elezaj Enters the Transfer Portal

UConn’s reserve freshman center Rrezon Elezaj has announced his intention to enter the NCAA transfer portal via his agents, seeking new opportunities. The 7’ 2”, 225-pound center from Kosovo via Turkey saw minimal action during his tenure at UConn. 

He appeared in four games this season, non-conference games against UMass Lowell, Bryant, East Texas A&M, and one conference game against DePaul. He played 5 minutes total, but did not score a basket. 

Rosters expanded to 15 players and Rrezon’s role was mainly as a practice player, battling Tarris Reed Jr. and Eric Reibe on a daily basis. He also worked to develop his game. He previously played for Beşiktaş Basketbol in Turkey, and will look for a new team this spring.
