Northeastern men’s basketball’s top scorer of the season, All-CAA first team player and NABC, North Atlantic District Division I All-District First Team player, junior guard Rashad King has entered the transfer portal.
The move comes after junior guards Masai Troutman and Harold Woods entered the transfer portal last week.
In a statement posted on X, King thanked the entire Northeastern basketball family for taking a chance on him “when [he] didn’t have anywhere else to go.” He also thanked the coaching staff for helping him grow on and off the court.
“After much thought and consideration, I’ve decided to enter the transfer portal,” King wrote. “This was not an easy decision, but I believe it’s the best step for my future. Northeastern will always hold a special place in my heart. No matter where I go next, I’ll always be proud to say I was part of this program.”
King signed for the Huskies in the spring of 2022 after originally committing to the University of Missouri–Kansas City.
In his freshman season, he averaged 3.2 points per game, or ppg. In his sophomore season, he averaged 8.3 ppg and reached double figures in 10 games. This past season, King cemented himself as an all-time great for the Huskies.
King started all games in the 2024-25 season and led the team with 18.5 ppg, more than doubling his sophomore record. He scored 593 points and had 106 assists, becoming just the sixth Northeastern player since the turn of the century to record 500 points and 100 assists. King was the second-best scorer in the CAA, behind Monmouth University’s Abdi Bashir Jr.
King scored a career-high 32 points against Hampton University Feb. 18 and dropped a perfect 10-of-10 performance at the line against William and Mary College March 1, only the 15th time in team history a player has achieved this feat. His career-high 13 assists against Princeton University Nov. 10, 2024 ranks as joint-sixth for most assists in a single game in Northeastern history.
King was the first Husky to be selected for the All-CAA and NABC first teams since Tyson Walker in the 2020-21 season. Described by teammate sophomore guard JB Frankel as “humble, driven and goofy,” King’s ability to affect the game and bring the best out of his teammates cannot be understated.
