Georgetown player vows to finish English project after classmate’s viral reaction to transfer
Published:
A Georgetown basketball player is heading elsewhere to continue his collegiate career next season, but wait a minute.
There is still work to be done as a Hoya. Not on the basketball floor, where forward Drew McKenna did his work this past season. The former 4-star recruit, who was the top player out of the state of Maryland in the 2024 recruiting class, averaged 1.8 points and 1.7 rebounds in 20 games for Georgetown in 2024-25.
But McKenna didn’t want to continue playing at Georgetown, announcing last Friday that he was heading elsewhere to hopefully improve those numbers next season.
And that’s McKenna’s personal choice, but sometimes everyone forgets that we’re talking about college here, and in college you have work to do in the classroom. That was the message sent by Georgetown student Daniel Racz upon finding out that McKenna was bolting from Georgetown after just 1 season.
Racz took to his social media on Tuesday to voice his concerns about something that had nothing to do with basketball and everything to do with classwork. You see, Racz wanted to make sure that McKenna was going to stick around long enough to help him finish his English final. Racz tweeted “Am I supposed to take it personally when my partner on my English final hits the transfer portal?”
Racz’s genuine concern has been well received, too, with 3.1 million views, as of Wednesday night.
Here is Racz’s post:
Well, consider Racz’s message received by McKenna, who was kind enough to answer his classmate’s plea on Wednesday afternoon.
“Don’t worry we going to get this final done the right way,” McKenna assured Racz.
McKenna might be heading elsewhere to play basketball next season, but right now he’s still a Georgetown student and, well, that English final beckons.
