Akron Zips basketball standout Eric Mahaffey to enter transfer portal
Akron Zips basketball player Eric Mahaffey has announced his decision to enter the NCAA transfer portal. Mahaffey, a promising young player, may return to Akron but is expected to receive interest from other programs.
Eric Mahaffey, a standout player for the Akron Zips men's basketball team, has decided to enter the NCAA transfer portal. This decision comes after longtime coach John Groce left for a job at the College of Charleston and the Zips hired Dustin Ford as his successor. Mahaffey did not rule out a return to Akron. He spent two seasons with the team, playing a key role off the bench in the 2025-26 season. Mahaffey helped Akron win its third consecutive Mid-American Conference Tournament title and appear in the NCAA Tournament. The NCAA transfer portal opens on April 7 and remains open for 15 days.
