NATIONAL University continues to stockpile talent for the future after securing the commitment of former Mapua wing Earl Sapasap, who will make the jump to the UAAP following his freshman campaign in the NCAA.
The Tarlac-native averaged 8.8 points, 4 rebounds, and 1.3 steals in Season 101 for the Cardinals, showing flashes of his two-way potential in his lone year in Intramuros.
At Jhocson, the 6-foot-2 Sapasap could compliment NU's perimeter attack alongsde the backcourt tandem of Reinhard Jumamoy and Tebol Garcia as the Bulldogs continue to build their roster for the coming seasons.
National U will be Sapasap’s fourth collegiate stop after previous stints with University of Santo Tomas, and Arellano - where he did not see action - before finally getting to play for Mapua.
Prior to making his mark in the collegiate ranks, Sapasap built his reputation in the grassroots scene after leading his squad to the 2023 NBTC Division 2 championship, where he also earned Most Outstanding Player honors.
The 22-year old guard will serve the mandatory one-year residency following his transfer and is expected to be eligible to suit up for the Bulldogs beginning UAAP Season 90, with two years of eligibility remaining.
