Zhuric Phelps, Ben Gregg Enter Transfer Portal as Graduate Transfers

Gonzaga forward Ben Gregg has entered the NCAA transfer portal as a graduate transfer, joining dozens of college players who have exhausted their eligibility but hope to benefit if the NCAA adopts a five-year eligibility rule amid ongoing legal settlements. Gregg, who averaged 9.1 points and 4.9 rebounds in his senior season, emphasized that entering the portal was a precautionary move in case the NCAA grants an extra year, though he is mainly focused on pursuing professional opportunities. His decision comes as part of a broader trend of athletes seeking to extend their college careers while the House vs. NCAA antitrust settlement is pending, which could reshape eligibility standards. Gregg played in 141 games for Gonzaga, becoming a significant contributor in his later seasons after starting his career primarily off the bench. Although the likelihood of him receiving an additional year is considered slim, he and others are keeping their options open until the NCAA clarifies its policy. No changes to the NCAA's eligibility rules have been finalized yet.
