Black History Month Student-Athlete Spotlight: Ez Njoku

Black History Month Student-Athlete Spotlight: Ez Njoku

In honor of Black History Month, Wentworth is celebrating some of our notable black student-athletes who have made an impact in their respective sports and in the Wentworth community. Today we highlight freshman Ez Njoku of the men's basketball team.

Why Wentworth?

  • My coach really made me feel welcome and Boston was enticing. Not to mention the Engineering programs are very well respected.

Favorite snack?

  • Spicy Sweet Chili Doritos.

Your hype song?

  • None of This by Nipsey Hussle

Do you sing in the shower or in the car? Or both?  

  • Both

Is there a tradition, event, or food you enjoy with family and/or friends to celebrate your heritage?

  • Not really a tradition, it's more the lifestyle that we live. My heritage influences everything from what I eat, what music I listen to and how I dress and behave.

Any game day superstitions?

  • Nothing superstitious but I like to eat and rest two hours before then get a good warm up come game time.

If you could have dinner with anyone in history, who would it be?

  • Nipsey Hussle, he overcame many odds in his life and is somebody whose growth mindset I try to emulate.

Could you share something about yourself you would like people to know?

  • I'm a pretty straight forward and laid-back person that enjoys hanging out with friends and teammates and I try my best to be there for anybody who needs me.
