CHICAGO – DePaul head coach Tony Stubblefield announced today that Yor Anei will join the program as a transfer. Anei spent last season at SMU after starting his collegiate career at Oklahoma State for two seasons.
"Yor Anei enhances our inside presence along with Nick Ongenda and Brandon Johnson," said Stubblefield. "He has some great experience going up against high-caliber opponents in his career between the Big 12 and American conferences and we're looking forward to him joining the program. His skill set will impact both ends of the court for us on offense and defense."
The 6-10 forward has played in 75 games over one season at SMU and two seasons at Oklahoma State. He holds averages of 7.7 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game while shooting .550 from the field.

Anei played in 11 games last season at SMU while averaging 6.6 points, 2.2 rebounds and 2.2 blocked shots per game. He totaled three games in double figures including a season-high 14 points at Temple while going 6-for-8 from the field and recording five rejections. Anei also went 5-of-7 from the field at UCF en route to 12 points with four blocked shots.
At Oklahoma State, Anei played in 64 games that included 56 games started. He totaled 21 games in double figures with four double-doubles and 22 games with three or more blocked shots. He averaged 7.7 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.7 blocks per game in 2018-19 before posting averages of 8.1 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.9 blocks in 2019-20. Anei scored a career-high 20 points at TCU in Feb. 2019 and grabbed a career-high 12 rebounds on two occasions with his career-best total of eight blocked shots also happening twice while playing at Oklahoma State.
