Indiana Native Gavin Bizeau Transferring to Rockets

Toledo, Ohio – Head Coach Tod Kowalczyk announced on Wednesday that 6-11, 210-pound forward Gavin Bizeau (Plainfield, Ind.) is transferring to the University of Toledo from Duquesne University. Bizeau will become eligible to play for the Rockets in the 2020-21 campaign and has three years of eligibility remaining.

"We're excited to have Gavin become a member of our Rocket family," Kowalczyk said. "Gavin is an extremely skilled, athletic player who has a really good upside. He possesses really good perimeter skills and is someone who can put the ball on the floor and can pass it. Gavin reminds me a lot of when Luke Knapke joined our program. He just needs to get stronger and develop some back-to-the-basket skills. That's what we're going to have him do while he is sitting out next season."

Bizeau played in 20 games, including 13 of 18 conference contests, for the Dukes. He tallied seven points in eight minutes vs. Saint Louis followed by an eight-point effort in 16 minutes vs. VCU that included a pair of three-point field goals.

Bizeau enjoyed a stellar prep career at Plainfield High School. He averaged 21.6 points, 11.5 rebounds and 3.5 blocked shots per game as a senior to help the Quakers to a 13-10 record and back-to-back winning seasons for the first time since 2007-08 and 2008-09. He was ranked 44th nationally among centers and in the Top 12 in the state of Indiana by 247 Sports. Bizeau also earned a spot on the 13-man IndyStar Indiana All-Star Team and was selected to the 2018 IBCA/Subway All-State "Supreme 15" Team. As a junior, Bizeau averaged 15.6 points, 7.9 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game as a junior to earn a spot on the IndyStar Indiana Junior All-Star team and Indiana Basketball Coaches Association Junior All-Star team.
