Keep track of Sac State’s transfer portal moves with this live tracker: Both the men’s and women’s basketball seasons are in the rearview mirror, but in the era of the name, image and likeness-driven transfer portal, there is no real offseason.
Head coach Mike Bibby’s Hornets lost two players to graduation, then an additional seven exited in the portal, highlighted by leading scorer senior guard Prophet Johnson, freshman forward Mark Lavrenov and redshirt sophomore guard Mikey Williams.
The women’s team lost their duo of redshirt senior guard Benthe Versteeg and senior forward Fatoumata Jaiteh, as well as six players in the portal. Ahead of his fourth season, head coach Aaron Kallhoff will need to rebuild half of his roster.
Follow along with this live and updating piece as Sacramento State rebuilds their rosters this offseason.
Sac State Men’s Basketball
Additions:
Ridvan Tutic, Center
Old Teams: Stonehill, Maine, New Hampshire
After one season at Stonehill, redshirt junior center Ridvan Tutic will be taking his talents to Sacramento for his senior year. The 6’11 center averaged 7.1 points and 7.8 rebounds last season, leading the conference in rebounding percentage and defensive rebounding percentage.
Prior to his year at Stonehill, Tutic played sparingly at both Maine and New Hampshire. He committed to Sac State on April 20.
Subtractions:
Mikey Williams, Guard
New Team:
For a third straight season, redshirt sophomore guard Mikey Williams has entered the transfer portal. He averaged 17.1 and 4.5 assists on 36% shooting from the field, turned the ball over 2.9 times a game and shot 29% from deep. Williams was an integral part of Bibby’s first-year offense, but will look for a new team this offseason, entering the portal on April 16.
Jeremiah Cherry, Forward
New Team: San Diego State
Senior forward Jeremiah “Bear” Cherry’s season was cut short by an injury, but he was dominant in his short stint. He averaged 15.5 points and 8.2 rebounds while blocking 2.3 shots a night, using his imposing size to command attention from opposing defenses.
Cherry was the first Sac State player to find a new home in the portal, committing to San Diego State on April 11.
Prophet Johnson, Guard
New Team:
As Sac State’s leading scorer from last season, senior guard Prophet Johnson entered the portal on April 7. In the last 15 games of the season, he took a leading role, averaging 21.9 points and 6.7 rebounds while shooting 43% from beyond the arc. He was rewarded with an All-Big Sky Second Team selection, winning Big Sky Player of the Week twice.
Johnson, along with Cherry, should be in line for a major move upwards. Unlike Cherry, he’ll need a waiver to play basketball in 2026-2027. He’s received interest from Illinois, Miami, University of Southern California and Notre Dame among other schools.
Mark Lavrenov, Forward
New Team:
When Cherry went down with injury, freshman forward Mark Lavrenov was thrust into a major role, acting as the team’s primary center for the rest of the season. He performed admirably, averaging 11.4 points and 7.8 rebounds in his extended role.
A local talent from Rocklin High School, Lavrenov grew as a passer and a shooter, and was an elite pick and roll operator with both Williams and Johnson, providing a consistent source of offense. His efforts would not go unnoticed, and he entered the portal on April 2.
Jahni Summers, Guard
New Team:
As a lights-out shooter with a flair for the dramatic, junior guard Jahni Summers hit the portal on March 26. His shooting was often a release valve for the Hornets, and provided much-needed spacing.
He shot 42% from deep on 4.4 attempts a game, and played active perimeter defense, picking up 1.3 steals a game.
Jayden Teat, Guard
New Team:
Freshman guard and Sacramento-native Jayden Teat showed flashes of high-octane offense in his limited playing time, averaging 11.4 points in the games where he played in over 20 minutes.
For the second time in his career, having transferred from Utah after his first season, Teat entered the portal on April 7.
New Team:
The senior forward appeared in five games for the Hornets, scoring four points and grabbing seven rebounds in 25 total minutes of play. He entered the portal on April 7.
The Stony Brook and San Diego transfer played at Sierra Canyon High School alongside Bronny James, son of LeBron James.
Sac State Women’s Basketball
Additions:

Savic earned Missouri Valley Conference Freshman of the Week honors during a stretch of seven games where she averaged 9.0 points and 3.7 rebounds while shooting 47% from deep. She committed to Sac State on April 10.
Solangelei “Koko” Akridge, Guard
Old Teams: Long Island, Alabama State
After two years at Alabama State, senior guard Koko Akridge transferred to Long Island and put up career-highs across the board. She averaged 9.4 points, 3.1 assists and 1.3 steals, shooting 34% from deep on 5.9 attempts.
In an 11 game stretch in the middle of the season, Akridge shot 46% from three, pushing her scoring average up to 13.1 points a game. She committed to Sac State on April 13, returning to her home state of California.
Alexis Hess, Forward
Old Team: Kansas State

Achol Magot, Forward
Old Teams: Arizona, Texas Tech
In her junior season, forward Achol Magot began carving out a role for herself at Arizona, averaging 8.2 points and 2.6 rebounds in the games that she played more than 10 minutes in.

Brooklynn Charlo, Guard
Old Team: Memphis
Freshman guard Brooklynn Charlo played sparingly in her first season of college basketball, but started five games for the Tigers. Prior to Memphis, she played at IMG Academy and helped them win the 2025 High School National Championship.
