Nebraska men's basketball land New Mexico transfer and Lincoln native Josiah Allick

A Lincoln native is joining the Huskers for his final season. Josiah Allick officially transferred to Nebraska after spending a season at New Mexico.

Allick, a 6-foot-8, 235-pound forward, joins the Huskers with a vast resume. Across four seasons, the forward played in 103 career games, including 84 starts, and totaled over 1,000 points and 600 rebounds.

“We are thrilled that Josiah has decided to come home and play his final season of college basketball at Nebraska,” head coach Fred Hoiberg said. “Josiah is as hard a worker as anyone, and his toughness and energy will be a huge benefit for our team and something our fans will embrace. Josiah is an excellent rebounder who has the ability to score both inside and outside. He has made big contributions at both UMKC and New Mexico in his college career, and we expect he will be able to impact our program similarly in a very positive way both on and off the court.”

Allick started all 34 games for the Lobos, helping the team reach the NIT with a 22-12 record. He averaged 8.4 points and 7.3 rebounds per game. 

Prior to New Mexico, Allick spent three seasons at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. He was also a first-team all-city performer at Lincoln North Star High School.

Allick is also the older brother of Husker volleyball’s Bekka Allick.
