Georgia transfer center Somto Cyril commits to Miami
Somto Cyril has found his next destination. After entering the NCAA Transfer Portal earlier this offseason, the former Georgia center has committed to Miami , giving the Hurricanes a major addition in the frontcourt. Cyril was one of the most sought-after big men in the portal after a breakout sophomore campaign with the Bulldogs.
The 6-foot-11, 260-pound Nigeria native started 32 of 33 games and established himself as one of the premier defensive anchors in the SEC. He averaged 9. 3 points, 5.
4 rebounds and 2. 2 blocks per game while shooting an efficient 76% from the field. His impact defensively stood out even more.
Cyril finished second in the SEC in total blocks (74), led the conference in block percentage (10. 6%) and earned All-Defense Team honors. Meanwhile, he was a difference-maker in the paint.
Cyril’s ability to protect the rim and dominate the glass made him a consistent presence for Georgia, particularly during SEC play. One of his most impressive performances came against Auburn, when he posted 15 points, six rebounds and six blocks while shooting a perfect 6-for-6 from the field. That level of efficiency became a trend.
