19. Walter Whyte

A 6’6 wing from New Haven, Connecticut, Whyte found a home just north of his hometown, starring for six years at Boston University. Whyte was a very impactful player for the Terriers for these last five seasons, including his bonus year stemming from the pandemic. He actually redshirted his second season due to an injury. Not only was he a solid offensive player, but he helped lead the Terriers to success.

After great potential as a freshman, he averaged 13.0 points and 7.4 rebounds an intriguing redshirt sophomore season. That season ended with a pair of double-doubles in their Patriot League Tournament victory, though the pandemic prevented Boston University from playing in the Big Dance. Whyte continued to be an offensive threat moving forward. He averaged at or around 13 points a game in his final four seasons and actually made 38% of his 3-pointers in his senior year. A notable performance from this past season was a 27-point, 13-rebound effort against Northeastern on opening night.

While he was never named First Team, Whyte was All-Patriot for four straight seasons after earning a spot on the All-Freshman team in year one. He scored nearly 1700 career points, helped lead the Terriers to a conference tournament title, and was a pretty efficient player on both sides of the ball during his career. He’ll certainly be missed by the Terriers this upcoming season after playing a significant role for the team.
