Sissoko will join the back-to-back-to-back Conference USA champions with three years of eligibility remaining.
A native of the Republic of Mali, Sissoko moved to the United States at the age of 16. He played his prep basketball at Central Park Christian in Birmingham, Alabama and then Lincoln Academy in Suwanee, Georgia, where he graduated in 2019.
Sissoko sat out his first season at Dayton in 2019-20. He played in 14 games and averaged 1.4 points and 2.4 rebounds per game in 2020-21 as a redshirt freshman.
Over the last three seasons, Sissoko has helped guide the Flyers to a combined 41-11 Atlantic 10 conference record and a 24-win season this past year and a 29-win season in 2019-20.
In addition to college, Sissoko has competed internationally for his home country of Mali in numerous events.
