Two Former NJCAA Student-Athletes Win Silver Medal at FISU World University Games
Charlotte, NC – Two former National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) student-athletes were part of the Team USA men’s basketball squad that took home the silver medal at the Rhine-Ruhr 2025 FISU World University Games. The United States fell in overtime, 88-94, to Brazil at the Grugahalle in Essen, Germany, on Saturday, July 26.
Team USA was represented by Baylor University men’s basketball which featured two student-athletes with NJCAA ties: Obi Agbim and JJ White. Agbim played for Northeastern Junior College (CO) in 2022-23, averaging 16.8 points per game as a freshman. White played his freshman season at Colby Community College (KS) in 2021-22 where he scored in double figures 22 times, including a 13-game double-figure scoring streak.
In the gold medal game, Agbim led Team USA with 30 points along with 11 rebounds, three steals and two assists. White hit a three-pointer in overtime to halt Brazil’s early scoring run, but the United States could not come back to win.
