Wyatt, who played his one and only season with the Roadrunners in 2023-24, said he would be playing for CAHA 87 in Seville, Spain.

A few months ago, he joined South Sudan’s Fox Basketball Club and played out of Nairobi, Kenya, but Wyatt says the deal in Spain is his first official opportunity to play professional basketball.

Two days ago, his agent texted to tell him that CAHA 87 wanted to sign him. “I was so excited,” Wyatt said Friday. “They wanted to see if I was in shape. I had to tape a workout video and sent it to them, and they sent me my contract right away.”

Wyatt said he has been living in San Antonio since the end of last season. He had shoulder surgery last April and then went into rehabilitation.

“UTSA helped me get back,” he said. “I’ve been rehabbing all this time. Now I’m 100 percent.”
