Saint Peter’s Guard Armoni Zeigler Enters Transfer Portal: Potential Reunion with Brother Zakai at Tennessee.

Saint Peter’s guard Armoni Zeigler has officially entered the NCAA transfer portal, sparking speculation about a possible move to the University of Tennessee, where his older brother, Zakai Zeigler, has been a standout player. Armoni, a 6-foot-4 guard, concluded his sophomore season with the Peacocks, averaging 11.1 points and 6.1 rebounds per game.

The Zeigler brothers previously faced each other in the NCAA Tournament, with Tennessee securing a decisive victory over Saint Peter’s. Despite the on-court rivalry, the brothers share a close bond. Former Tennessee forward Tobe Awaka highlighted this connection, stating, “Those two have an incredible bond.” ​

Tennessee’s head coach, Rick Barnes, who has a strong relationship with Zakai, may view Armoni as a valuable addition to the Volunteers’ roster. With the departure of several key guards, including Zakai, Chaz Lanier, Jordan Gainey, and Jahmai Mashack, Tennessee has significant openings in their backcourt. ​

While no official statements have been made regarding Armoni’s potential transfer to Tennessee, the combination of familial ties and roster needs makes this a plausible scenario. As the transfer portal activity unfolds, it remains to be seen where Armoni will choose to continue his collegiate basketball career.
