Drake sophomore Okku Federiko is committing to Northwestern, he announced on X and Instagram.

The 6-foot-9 forward from Helsinki, Finland becomes the fifth player of this transfer cycle to join the Wildcats after averaging 8.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 blocks per game while shooting 52.2% from the field. Federiko started in all 34 games for the Bulldogs during the 2025-26 season, playing 23.2 minutes per game. Before Drake, Federiko was with South Carolina as a mid-year enrollee, and he didn’t see any playing time.

It is of note that Federiko is listed as a guard in his commitment post. While this could be a typo that will get fixed, it could also be a sign that Chris Collins has a lengthy guard who can space the floor.
