Meet 7-foot-2 sophomore John Bol, the human 'cheat code'

Posted Mar 9, 2022
John Bol arrived in the United States one year ago this week, and immediately became a fan favorite. His height (7-foot-2) is the first thing that catches your eye, but not far behind is his exuberant personality. By having a singular conversation with him, it’s apparent he’s one of those people that light up a room. In the classroom, Bol boasts a 4.0 GPA. (On3.com)
