2018 Nebraska Basketball Player Profiles: Nana Akenten

After deciding not to redshirt his Freshman year, Nana Akenten looks to make his mark off the bench

A former 3-star recruit and key member of the Nebraska bench mob last year, Nana Akenten seems to have found his role as the sixth man, specializing in sharp shooting.

Akenten had the opportunity to redshirt, but told head coach Tim Miles he wouldn’t to get his feet wet, playing a total of 21 minutes the entire season. Looking back, maybe he should’ve redshirted. Same goes for Thorir Thorbjarnarson, but here we are.

Coming off the bench first in the exhibition game against Wayne State last Thursday night, Akenten finished with eight points in 12 minutes, shooting 1-3 from behind the arc. He also had a highlight reel, and-one reverse layup, but BTN didn’t put that in the highlights of the game.
