7’9″ GIANT SHATTERS NCAA Record! Is He the NBA’s NEXT BIG THING?
Did you know a player could be 7-foot-9 and still only play two minutes in a game? Florida center Olivier Rioux just shattered an NCAA record, becoming the tallest Division I basketball player ever to step onto the court. This towering redshirt freshman, who previously held a Guinness World Record as the tallest teenager at 7-foot-6, made his historic debut during the Gators' dominant win over North Florida. Despite his incredible height, which even caught the attention of Florida's football team for field goal blocks, Rioux recorded no statistics and faces a challenging path to significant playing time on the stacked national champion team. His mere presence, however, sets a new benchmark, potentially even surpassing NBA giants if he makes it professionally.
