After helping the University of Tennessee men’s basketball team to the Elite Eight, J.P. Estrella is moving to Michigan, ESPN reporter Pete Thamel posted to X on Thursday.
The move comes after the 6-foot-11 sophomore forward from Scarborough announced Monday in an Instagram post that he had decided to enter the NCAA transfer portal.
Estrella won a Class AA state championship with South Portland High School in 2022 before transferring to New Hampshire prep school Brewster Academy for his senior season in high school.
The 21-year-old suffered a season-ending foot injury a year ago and needed surgery. But he has stormed back this season, averaging more than 10 points and five rebounds per game with the Tennessee Volunteers.
