Today, Andy Gemao has secured his first Division 1 men’s basketball scholarship which came from Penn State University.
The 6-foot-2 swingman from Manila, Philippines played his senior year of basketball for the Royal Crown School in Toronto, Canada.
During this time, Gemao led his team to a 19–2 record and earned a spot on the All-OSBA Second Team.
After attending the Adidas Nations Tokyo Under-19 Special Camp last April, Gemao returned to the Philippines to evaluate his next steps in his basketball career.
He saw action in one game with the University of the Philippines in Asiabasket.
Per Matthew Li of the Tiebreaker Times, Nittany Lions head coach Mike Rhoades was part of a Zoom meeting with Gemao and his father, Mark Vincent, and no NIL deal was discussed during the meeting.
Gemao is regarded as the top Filipino prospect in the Class of 2026.
From representing the Philippines, playing in HS hoops in Canada, to now getting offered by the Nittany Lions, Gemao’s journey keeps getting bigger.
