UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State men’s basketball coach Mike Rhoades announced the signing of 6-foot-11 center Tim Oboh for the 2026-27 season on Tuesday.

Oboh comes to University Park with two seasons of eligibility remaining after beginning his collegiate career as a two-year starter at Buffalo.

Born in London, England, Oboh started all 32 games for the Bulls last year where he averaged 8.5 points per game to go with 4.9 rebounds per game. In his first two seasons, he has totaled 388 points, 224 rebounds and 56 blocks while hitting on 56 percent of his shots from the field.

In prep school at the Canterbury Academy, Oboh averaged 17 points and 12 rebounds per game.
