The Lynn, Mass., native is a product of Hillcrest Prep High School in Phoenix, Ariz.
He was a four-star recruit from the class of 2024 that ranked No. 52 nationally, No. 15 in small forwards, and No. 3 in the state of Ariz., according to 247Sports Composite.
As a transfer, he is rated a three-star and ranks No. 333 overall and No. 62 in small forwards.
Asemota is the third player to join the Eagles program out of the transfer portal this offseason. He joins former Mizzou forward Aidan Shaw and former Butler big man Boden Kapke.
They join a Boston College team that went 12-19 overall which included a 4-16 mark in conference play, and finished 17th in the ACC last season.
