Columbia Forward Ryan Soulis Commits to Northwestern Men's Basketball
Columbia University sophomore forward Ryan Soulis has officially committed to join the Northwestern University men's basketball team, as announced by DraftExpress reporter Jon Chepkevich. The 6-foot-10 player from Athens, Greece, brings significant size to the Wildcats' roster under head coach Chris Collins. Soulis averaged 5.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 0.9 blocks in 20.0 minutes per game during his previous season with the Columbia Lions, starting in 17 of the 26 games he played. His collegiate path includes two prior years at Richmond; however, due to Ivy League transfer restrictions, he retained sophomore eligibility despite being in his third year of college basketball. He is expected to be listed as a redshirt junior for the upcoming 2026-27 season. This commitment marks Soulis as the seventh transfer addition for Northwestern this offseason and highlights the program's international recruitment strategy, as he is the fourth non-U.S.-born player in this portal class, joining Okku Federiko, Luke McEldon, and Aleksej Kostić.
