Potter played in 56 combined games during his two years with the RedHawks. He averaged 6.5 points and 3.7 rebounds in 17.1 minutes per game last season.
The center shot 46.6% from the field and 36.7% from the 3-point range in 2024-25. As a freshman, Potter started 11 games and averaged 6.0 points and 3.0 rebounds in 14.2 minutes.
