BIRMINGHAM – UAB men's basketball head coach Andy Kennedy announced the signing of Miami Transfer Paul Djobet this afternoon.
"Happy to welcome Paul to UAB. The experience he garnered over the last two years at Miami in the ACC will help him tremendously in this transition. Paul is a versatile forward capable of impacting the game in a multitude of ways."
Djobet played high school basketball at West Oaks Academy in Orlando, Florida, and Solid Rock Academy in Georgia. The West Oaks Academy graduate was a four-star recruit by ESPN and the No.14 ranked player in Florida. Djobet averaged 17.0 points and 10.0 rebounds per game helping West Oaks to a state title appearance in his senior campaign. He was the Sunshine Independent Athletic Association (SIAA) Player of the Year and First Team All-State his senior year. In two years at Solid Rock, Djobet won the Georgia Independent School Association (GISA) state championship and was named Player of the Year both seasons.
Most recently, Djobet was at Miami spending his first two collegiate seasons in the Atlantic Coast Conference. He played in 16 games his freshman year, making his first career start against Duke in February of 2024. Djobet played in 28 games making three starts and averaged 5.5 points and 2.6 rebounds in his sophomore season at Miami, while shooting 38% from three-point range. Scored a career high 13 points against Syracuse on February 11 last season. Totaled a career high in rebounds with seven against Stanford on January 22.
Paul Djobet joins Ahmad Robinson, Quaran McPherson, KyeRon Lindsay, Jacob Meyer, and Chance Westry as the sixth transfer portal signee to come to UAB ahead of the 2025-26 season.
