An incoming freshman at the University of Florida has captured everyone’s attention with his extraordinary height of 7-foot-9, as listed on the school’s athletic website. This measurement would make Montreal native Olivier Rioux the tallest college basketball player in history, surpassing the previous record held by 7’8” Paul Sturgess.
Rioux, who previously held the Guinness World Record for the tallest living male teenager is bound to draw major attention and curiosity as he embarks on his college career.
