The University of Georgia basketball program secured its inaugural transfer portal acquisition for this recruiting period on Thursday with the signing of Penn State guard Freddie Dilione V.
The talented guard was the Nittany Lions’ top offensive performer this season, averaging 14.0 points per game overall and 14.1 points per game during Big Ten Conference matchups. Throughout 32 games with 15 starting appearances, Dilione also contributed 3.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.2 steals per outing.
These statistics represent personal bests across all four statistical categories during his third collegiate basketball campaign.
Over his college career spanning 81 games with 43 starts between Tennessee (2023-24) and Penn State (2024-26), Dilione maintains career numbers of 9.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game.
The guard will be joining a Georgia squad that brings back four players who made at least eight starts last season — Blue Cain, Kanon Catchings, Marcus “Smurf” Millender, and Kareem Stagg — while dealing with the departures of leading scorer Jeremiah Wilkinson and center Somto Cyril to the transfer portal.
