On Monday night, Boston College men’s basketball added former George Washington forward Luke Hunger from the transfer portal.

Hunger is the sixth portal addition for first-year head coach Luke Murray this offseason, and the seventh incoming player overall.

Jonathan Givony of DraftExpress originally announced the signing on X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram, but Hunger reposted it on his personal account as well.

Last season at George Washington, the 6-foot-10, 250-pound Northfield Mount Hermon (Gill, Mass.) product averaged 8.4 points per game, including 5.1 rebounds, in 19.1 minutes per game.

He shot 49.2 percent from the field, along with 31.1 percent from deep and 81.7 percent from the free-throw line.

In February, the Montréal, Québec, native went on a six-game torrid stretch where he reset his career-high in three straight games with four consecutive 20-point performances. He reached double figures 11 times, and tallied five double-doubles.

Prior to his graduate year in Washington, D.C., Hunger spent three years at Northwestern. He made 62 career appearances for the Wildcats, including 10 starts, posting career averages of 3.3 PPG, 2.1 rebounds, and 0.8 assists while shooting 42 percent overall and 66.7 percent from the stripe.

As a senior at Northfield Mount Hermon, he was named the 2021-22 NEPSAC Player of the Year and an All-NEPSAC selection. Hunger averaged 17.0 PPG and 9.7 rebounds, leading his team to a 33-6 record and National Prep Championship runner-up finish.
