JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - North Florida men's basketball brings in another transfer guard with Kamrin Oriol coming in as an NAIA talent from The Masters College in California, as announced by head coach Matthew Driscoll and staff on Friday evening.
Oriol will join UNF as a junior after spending his first two seasons out west, averaging 15.5 PPG and 3.4 RPG, while shooting 46% from the field, 38% from three and 84% from the line, during his 2023-24 campaign. The 6'3" guard also adds 1.1 APG to his repertoire, along with 76 total three-pointers, to help the Mustangs make a Sweet 16 appearance.
The St. Petersburg, Fla., native had an impressive conference season, as he averaged 18.8 PPG, shot 49% from the field and 43% from range. Some of his accolades while at The Masters College (CA) include GSAC Freshman of the Year (2022-23), All-GSAC (2022-23) and GSAC Player of the Week (Jan. 8, 2024).
The UNF '24 signing class continues to stack signees with Oriol teaming up with Josh Harris, Alex Vargo, Nestor Dyachok, Liam Murphy and Dante Oliver as Osprey newcomers.

Coach Driscoll on Kamrin
"Kamrin Oriol has what we say 'put it in the books,' which works well for his transition to Division I. Kamrin finished at 62% at the rim and 41% from three-point range, showing his innate skill of scoring the ball. He really has a high level of competitiveness, which really drew us to him not only on the floor, but in his quest for his academic experience as well. Kamrin has a direct understanding between work and opportunity knowing that combination influences success. He grew up fast as a youngster, which we feel aligns well with our serving and leading culture."
