Long & Winding Road: 2026 Tourney Transfers Playing For > Three Schools
More than one-third of NCAA DI players have switched schools at least once. But how about nomads attending four or five major universities before competing in this year's NCAA Tournament? Incredibly, North Carolina State forward Ven-Allen Lubin is playing for his third different ACC member (previously Notre Dame and North Carolina), Gonzaga remained a Final Four contender after adding guards Tyon Grant-Foster and Adam Miller as their fourth pit stop and Villanova's Devin Askew is on roster of his fourth different power-conference member. Askew and High Point's Cam'Ron Fletcher were freshman recruits for Kentucky in 2020-21. They are among the following alphabetical list of vagabonds in this year's playoffs after attending four or five different DI schools:
| Nomadic Player | Pos. | First School | Second School | Third School | Fourth School | Fifth School |
