Moustapha Thiam, the 7-foot-2 UCF signee, has reclassified to 2024 and will play for the Golden Knights next season, according to multiple reports.
The DME Academy (FL.) product was the No. 1 ranked center in the class of 2025 before making his decision Wednesday.
He is the lone freshman coming into UCF, joining five transfer additions including former Syracuse wing Benny Williams, Keyshawn Hall (George Mason), JJ Taylor (Memphis), Mikey Williams (Memphis) and Jordan Ivy-Curry (UTSA).
Thiam will provide a much-needed frontcourt presence to a Knights roster with just one player above 6-foot-10.
