What Mikey Kelvin II brings to FIU

Kelvin had hit the transfer portal over two weeks ago after previously spending one season at Oklahoma State University. However, he never saw the court.

Before his time at OSU, Mikey Kelvin II spent the previous four years playing for Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. His freshman season was canceled due to COVID-19, which is why he currently has another year of eligibility.

He helped his team reach three straight national quarterfinal appearances in the USPORTS Final 8. This tournament is Canada’s rendition of the March Madness. Mikey Kelvin II averaged 10.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks in his senior season. He also had an average of 2.2 threes per game on 39.6% shooting.

The Gaels had a 30-6 record, winning the OUA Wilson Cup (Ontario’s provincial conference title) and reaching the national championship game. This was the program’s best finish in the tournament and first conference title since 1952. Kelvin himself had a double-double (13 points and 10 rebounds) and made the game-tying three-point shot with 72 seconds left in the Wilson Cup final.
