Keisei Tominaga is excited to officially be on the way to the next stage of his career after signing a National Letter of Intent to transfer to the University of Nebraska next season.

“I’m thrilled to be able to play in Division I of the NCAA from next year,” Tominaga told the Japan Times in a Zoom interview from Ranger, Texas, where he is currently playing for Ranger College.

The 19-year-old, who verbally committed to Nebraska a year ago, has been public about his future ambitions. His ultimate goal is to reach the NBA, and he feels playing for an NCAA D-I program is the best way to get there.
