Akot began his collegiate career at Arizona, where he averaged 2.8 points per game in limited time through two seasons.

The 6-foot-7 wing has since played at Boise State for the last two years, taking a big step during the 2021-2022 season, averaging 10.6 points on 40% shooting and adding in tremendous defensive versatility.

Akot recently withdrew his name from the NBA Draft back in late May.

He now slots into a Memphis lineup that has two fifth-year seniors (Akot and former SMU guard Kendric Davis) and a 26 year-old DeAndre Williams.

Memphis has no recruits in the Class of 2022.
