Miles Community College: Comes to MSUB from the Pioneers where he started as a center for two seasons…scored 303 points while adding 401 rebounds during his time at MCC, and finished with a career average of 7.0 rebounds per contest…using his lengthy frame to his advantage, blocked 88 shots and had a career single-game high of 10 in his two seasons…also had career highs of 17 points and 18 rebounds…will be called upon to be an offensive catalyst as well for the Yellowjackets, as MSUB will turn to him to score underneath while providing defensive stability.
 
Coach Stevens on Olufemi: "Manny immediately gives us size at the five position. He will be a rim protector for us and his presence will offset defensive breakdowns and allow us to be a better rebounding team."
 
Olufemi on choosing MSUB: "I chose MSU Billings because of the academics and a good athletic program. I really like Coach Stevens and Coach Schmit, and I wish to help Yellowjacket Basketball get back to the top of the GNAC. I am familiar with the surroundings of Billings and feel like I can take my game to another level there. The GNAC is a great conference and I will get to compete against great players on a nightly basis."
