Men’s Basketball Adds Bryan Ndjonga From NCAA Transfer Portal

Canisius head men's basketball coach Jim Christian announced Bryan Ndjonga will join the Golden Griffins for the 2025-26 season.

Ndjonga (pronounced JAWN-guhh) is the fourth player to join the Canisius program from the NCAA Transfer Portal since April 14. He comes to Buffalo after playing the 2024-25 season at Central Michigan. He started his collegiate career in 2023-24 at CSU Northridge, and has two seasons of eligibility remaining.

"We are excited to add a player like Bryan to our roster for next season," Christian said. "Bryan can put the ball on the floor and get to the basket, and he has proven that he has a good shooting touch for a big man. We believe his athletic ability can certainly help us rebound the ball and protect the rim on the defensive end of the court as well. We are excited to add another player with quality Division I playing experience to our program."

A native of Yaounde, Cameroon, Ndjonga is a 6-foot-9, 210-pound forward who played 29 games and made 21 starts at Central Michigan last season. An Academic All-Mid-American Conference honoree, he averaged 5.4 points, 3.5 rebounds and 19.4 minutes per game while shooting 53.9 percent from the floor. He was good for double-figures in the scoring column four times, highlighted by his 15-point performance at Western Michigan and he grabbed a season-high eight rebounds at Arizona.

In 2023-24, Ndjonga played in 32 games off the bench as a member of the CSU Northridge team, where he was a teammate with former Griff Jasman Sangha. As a true freshman, he was good for 3.0 points and 1.6 rebounds per game. Before joining the Matador program, he played at Bella Vista Preparatory School in Scottsdale, Ariz., where he helped the team to a 21-10 record and a No. 10 ranking in the final MaxPreps.com rankings for the 2022-23 campaign.
