Saint Peter’s Guard Armoni Zeigler Enters Transfer Portal: Potential Reunion with Brother Zakai at Tennessee.
Saint Peter’s guard Armoni Zeigler has officially entered the NCAA transfer portal, sparking speculation about a possible move to the University of Tennessee, where his older brother, Zakai Zeigler, has been a standout player.Armoni, a 6-foot-4 guard, concluded his sophomore season with the Peacocks, averaging 11.1 points and 6.1 rebounds per game.
The Zeigler brothers previously faced each other in the NCAA Tournament, with Tennessee securing a decisive victory over Saint Peter’s.Despite the on-court rivalry, the brothers share a close bond.Former Tennessee forward Tobe Awaka highlighted this connection, stating, “Those two have an incredible bond.”
Tennessee’s head coach, Rick Barnes, who has a strong relationship with Zakai, may view Armoni as a valuable addition to the Volunteers’ roster.With the departure of several key guards, including Zakai, Chaz Lanier, Jordan Gainey, and Jahmai Mashack, Tennessee has significant openings in their backcourt.
While no official statements have been made regarding Armoni’s potential transfer to Tennessee, the combination of familial ties and roster needs makes this a plausible scenario.As the transfer portal activity unfolds, it remains to be seen where Armoni will choose to continue his collegiate basketball career.
