Mastodons add a pair

Purdue Fort Wayne basketball added two experienced transfers to its team for next season: NAIA All-American Tamaje Izuagbe from Oklahoma Wesleyan and former junior-college star Anthony Isaac from Manhattan.

Izuagbe, a 6-foot-6 wing, was one of the best players in NAIA last season. He averaged 17.7 points on 54% shooting in just 22.7 minutes per contest as a sophomore. He hit 36.2% from 3-point range on almost four attempts per game and added 5.8 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks per contest.

He earned first-team All-American honors and helped Wesleyan to a 30-4 record and a round of 16 appearance in the NAIA National Tournament. He will have at least two seasons of eligibility.

Isaac is also a 6-6 wing who played his inaugural season of Division I basketball for the Jaspers of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference last season. Isaac appeared in 32 games for Manhattan and started three, averaging 9.5 points and 7.2 rebounds in 23.8 minutes per game. He shot 48.8% from the field.

In the middle of the season, he had a stretch of seven games out of 11 with double-digit rebounds and he posted five double-doubles in all with season-highs of 17 points and 16 rebounds. He had 16 points and six rebounds against Big Ten foe Southern California.

Prior to that, he was a two-time JUCO All-Region pick at Blinn College and in 2024-25 averaged a double-double with 14.6 points and 11.4 rebounds per contest. He set the single-season and career rebounding records at Blinn.

The pair of newcomers for the Mastodons gives coach Jon Coffman’s team three transfers this offseason, joining Division II riser Edir Ortiz from Seton Hill. All three are frontcourt players after PFW’s Maximus Nelson, Deangelo Elisee and Darius Duffy ran out of eligibility.
