Graydon Lemke, a 6-foot-10, 190-pound freshman walk-on forward from Las Vegas, has entered the transfer portal after redshirting the 2024-25 season at Gonzaga. Lemke, who did not see game time during his redshirt season, will have four years of eligibility remaining. He becomes the fourth player from Gonzaga's 2024-25 roster to enter the transfer portal, alongside forwards Michael Ajayi and Jun Seok Yeo, and guard Dusty Stromer. Ajayi and Stromer have already secured new opportunities at Butler and Grand Canyon, respectively.
In a social media post, Lemke expressed gratitude for his time at Gonzaga, citing personal growth, valuable experiences, and strong relationships developed within the program. He highlighted his physical development and skill refinement during his tenure, stating his readiness to compete at a high level in college basketball. Lemke was part of a group of walk-on players at Gonzaga, including Noah Haaland, Joe Few, Cade Orness, and Joaquim ArauzMoore. Few, the son of head coach Mark Few, is not expected to return for the next season after participating in Senior Night ceremonies. Additionally, Lemke's older brother Coleman, who played under former Eastern Washington coach Shantay Legans at Portland, has also recently entered the transfer portal.
