Graduate forward Luke Hunger is entering the transfer portal after just one year with men’s basketball, he announced on Instagram on Thursday.
Hunger enters the portal alongside five other Revolutionaries, including junior guards Trey Autry and Bubu Benjamin, sophomore guard Ty Bevins, redshirt sophomore guard Christian Jones and redshirt junior forward Garrett Johnson. He leaves the Revolutionaries after serving as a key big man during the 2025-26 season, averaging 8.4 points and 5.1 rebounds per game.
When top rebounder graduate forward Rafael Castro suffered an injury in February, Hunger seized the opportunity, scoring 17.4 points per game while averaging 30 minutes per game for the six games Castro was out.
With Hunger’s announcement, just one rotation player from this season will be returning — junior guard Jean Aranguren, who averaged 8.2 points per game this year and became the second Rev in program history to notch a triple-double in February. Aranguren started in 22 games for the Revs this season and averaged 24 minutes per game.
In his best game of the season against George Mason, the Quebec native scored a career-high 31 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, making him the first GW player to record a 30-and-10 game since 2017.
During Hunger’s breakout stretch as a starter, he was named Atlantic 10 Player of the Week. Prior to the honor, he averaged 26 points and 8 rebounds over two home wins against Rhode Island and George Mason, shooting 68% from the floor and 80% from beyond the arc.
Just over a month after his career-high game at George Mason, Hunger suffered a foot injury that forced him to miss the opening round of the National Invitation Tournament against Utah Valley University. Similarly, he suffered a foot injury in his freshman season at Northwestern University.
At Northwestern, Hunger had his peak during the 2023-24 season, playing in 31 games and starting in both of the team’s NCAA tournament matchups. In the first round of the tournament against Florida Atlantic University, Hunger scored 8 points and grabbed eight rebounds.
This year’s transfer-heavy offseason is a stark contrast to last offseason, when the team retained several key pieces, including their star in Castro and their backcourt in Autry and Jones. The Revs will have to massively rebuild their team ahead of the upcoming season.
