Vanderbilt has picked up a transfer commitment from a veteran big man who previously played in the Big 12.
Bangot Dak, who just completed his third season at Colorado, has committed to the Commodores. Dak revealed his decision to On3’s Joe Tipton on Sunday afternoon.
Dak, who is 7-foot-1, averaged career highs with the Buffaloes in 2025-26 as he started all but three of their games. The Lincoln, Nebraska, product averaged 11.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks per game. His 50 blocks ranked just outside of the top 10 in the Buffs’ single-season record books. After entering the transfer portal, he’s opted to wrap up his college career in the SEC.
It’s a major presence in the paint for Mark Byington and the Commodores, who continued their ascent on the national stage during the 2025-26 campaign. Vanderbilt‘s 27 wins ranked as the second most in school history. Tyler Tanner was a first-team All-SEC selection and made the conference’s all-defensive team after the season.
Dak is the third player to commit to the Commodores during this transfer cycle. Berke Buyuktuncel (6.5 ppg, 5.8 ppg) is set to join the program from Nebraska. Vandy will also add Ace Glass, a second-team All-WCC performer who led Washington State in scoring in his freshman season.
