NCAA rules allow athletes to enter the draft without giving up their remaining collegiate eligibility as long as they are evaluated by the NCAA Undergraduate Advisory Committee.
Despite coming off the bench for most of the season, Miguel was a key piece behind the Bulls’ unprecedented turnaround. He averaged 14.7 points per game on 41% shooting.
Miguel transferred to USF in 2022 after two seasons at Kansas State. He played in 30 games in his first season with the Bulls, averaging 10.3 points and 3.3 assists per game.
Miguel led the Bulls’ offensively in their two upsets over ranked opponents this season. He scored 23 points in a win over Memphis on Jan. 18, and a career-high 25 points in a win over FAU on Feb. 18.
