Logie completes 2024-25 MSU roster with Utah State transfer Agbonkpolo

by Ethan Becker

BOZEMAN, Mont. — Montana State University men's head basketball coach completed his roster for the upcoming 2024-25 season Sunday with a commitment from Utah State transfer Max Agbonkpolo.

Bozeman is the fourth and final stop for Agbonkpolo after spending three seasons with USC, one season at Wyoming, and this past season with Utah State under former MSU head coach Danny Sprinkle.

Agbonkpolo was a highly touted recruit coming out Santa Margarita High School in California in 2019. He was rated as the No. 5 prospect in the state and No. 52 nationally by 247sports, No. 56 by Rivals, and No. 64 by ESPN.

The 6-foot-9 forward brings a lot of experience to what will be a experience-led Bobcats team. Agbonkpolo has appeared in 116 games, including 28 starts, and averaging 5 points and 2.7 rebounds throughout his five-year career.

Agbonkpolo was an active role player in the beginning of the 2023-24 season for Sprinkle and Utah State, averaging 23.6 minutes in 10 games, including one start. However, he had to sit out the rest of the season due to a foot injury, but it allowed him to medically redshirt for a sixth season.

Agbonkpolo fills the last scholarship spot for the 2024-25 roster, barring any unforeseen changes. He joins Salt Lake Community College transfer Bryce Zephir, Washington State transfer Jabe Mullins , Division II Western Washington transfer BJ Kolly , Fullerton College (CA) transfer Jeremiah Davis , and 2024 Belton High School (TX) senior Trap Johnson as newcomers.

Agbonkpolo joins the Bobcats for his sixth and final season of eligibility.
