(KBTX) – Texas A&M international guard Rubén Domínguez has been granted a waiver by the NCAA for two years of eligibility, the program confirmed with KBTX Tuesday.
The 6-foot-6 guard joined the Aggie program after a year in Spain’s top professional division last season with the club Surne Bilbao Basket. Domínguez, 22, has been featured on Spain’s under-16 and under-20 teams over the last six years.
“What he brings is 3-point shooting from the time he steps on the floor. He can shoot it from half court,” head coach Bucky McMillan said of Domínguez at the Dallas A&M Club’s Coaches Night. “He’s one of the best shooters in the world.”
In 35 career appearances for Spain, Domínguez averaged 13 points on a 42.3% clip from the field. Over his last two international tournaments, he hit 41% of his 3-point attempts. For Bilbao Basket, Domínguez averaged 7.6 points and 1.8 rebounds in 16 minutes per game.
Domínguez was a part of the Spanish squads that earned a gold medal in the U16 Euro Championship A in 2019 and the U20 tournament in 2022. In 2019, he was named the MVP of the tournament.
Domínguez’s waiver approval was first reported by TexAgs’ Luke Evangelist.
