When Baylor students returned from winter break, there was a new face on the floor for the men’s basketball team. A long-armed, 6-foot-9 forward capable of handling the ball and shooting three-pointers. His name is Nuni Omot.
Omot’s road to Baylor was a winding one. Born in Nairobi, Kenya, Anunwa “Nuni” Omot’s family moved to the U.S. when he was just a few months old. Omot played high school basketball at Mahtomedi High School in St. Paul, Minn. A late bloomer, Omot has grown 8 inches since his junior year, rising from 6 foot 1 inch to his current 6 foot 9 inches.
