College career
Colvin spent two seasons at Purdue before transferring to Wake Forest. He was part of Purdue’s 2024 Final Four squad.
He logged 12 minutes in the national championship game loss to Connecticut. That tournament experience adds valuable postseason minutes.
At Wake Forest, Colvin started 24 of 35 games. He averaged 11.6 points and 4.4 rebounds per contest.
His shooting splits at Wake Forest were 40.3% from the field, 36% on 3s and 87% at the foul line. Those numbers show reliable perimeter scoring.
Notable performances
Colvin scored 33 points against Queens University. He also posted 32 points in a game versus Syracuse.
In November, he hit a buzzer-beater to beat Memphis at the Baha-Mar Championship. That shot highlighted his late-game poise.
Background and development
As a sophomore at Purdue, he averaged about 5.4 points and 2.6 rebounds. He showed steady growth during his time with the Boilermakers.
Colvin is the son of Roosevelt Colvin. Roosevelt played at Purdue and won two Super Bowls with the New England Patriots.
What he brings to Cincinnati
Colvin offers size at the guard position and proven three-point shooting. He brings experience in high-pressure settings.
Under Jerrod Calhoun, he should see opportunities to score and lead. Cincinnati gains a transfer with both pedigree and upside.
