The NCAA transfer portal has another notable name, as Creighton guard Owen Freeman has officially entered, according to a report from On3. This marks the second transfer of the junior's collegiate career, following his move from Iowa to Creighton just last season.
Freeman's lone season with the Bluejays saw him contribute 5.0 points and 4.0 rebounds per game across 26 appearances, including nine starts. His role at Creighton was a shift from his productive tenure at Iowa, where he thrived as a key scorer. In his final season as a Hawkeye, Freeman posted impressive career-high averages of 16.7 points and 6.7 rebounds per game before a knee injury cut his campaign short at 19 games.
The 6-foot-10 guard's decision to explore new opportunities coincides with a major coaching change in Omaha. Legendary Creighton head coach Greg McDermott, the program's all-time winningest coach, retired after the season, closing a 14-year chapter. Associate head coach Alan Huss, who joined the staff in 2024, is set to take the reins.
As Freeman seeks his third college home, his proven scoring ability and size make him an intriguing prospect in the portal. His next move will be one to watch as teams look to bolster their backcourts for the upcoming season.
