Ahmad spent four years at WVU from 2015-2019, scoring a total of produced 1,039 points and averaging 9.3 points per game during his college career. He also averaged 4.3 rebounds per game as a Mountaineer.
The Cleveland, OH, native did have his time in Morgantown cut short when he was dismissed from the team for violating athletic department policies in February of his senior season.
Since leaving WVU, Ahmad has played professionally in Cyprus, Hungary, Argentina, Germany and Czech Republic.
Ahmad becomes the fourth player announced for Best Virginia, joining Jermaine Haley, Kedrian Johnson and Erik Stevenson.
The TBT returns to West Virginia this year as the 2025 West Virginia Regional will be played in the Charleston Coliseum & Convention Center from July 18-23. Charleston previously hosted TBT regionals in 2021 and 2022.
