Men’s basketball junior forward Amarri Monroe has entered the transfer portal Friday after two years in Hamden, according to Joe Tipton from On3 on X.
The Newburgh, New York native leaves Quinnipiac after a junior campaign filled with accolades.
Monroe was named to the All-MAAC First Team and was honored with the MAAC Player of the Year for the 2024-25 season. He is the second-straight Bobcat to win the award, following in the footsteps of Matt Balanc ‘24.
“Women lie, men lie, numbers don’t,” graduate student guard Savion Lewis said on March 6. “You guys see him. You don’t have to keep trying to advocate for him. He’s done everything on the number one team. So it’s a no brainer why he’s the Player of the Year.”
Monroe started in 31 of 32 games for the Bobcats played this season, averaging 18.1 PPG and 8.1 RPG and was No. 2 in the MAAC in steals.
His work defensively, helped break his own program record for most steals in a single season for the second-straight year.
Monroe had a stretch of seven out of eight games to end the season where he recorded a double-double capped off by a 29-point and 10-rebound performance against Canisius on Feb. 6.
He becomes the first Bobcat to enter his name into the portal following the 2024-25 season, and is expected to be a hot commodity for teams.
