Hamad Yassin Mousa (Arabic: حمد ياسين موسى; born March 28, 2006) is a Qatari college basketball player for the Cal Poly Mustangs of the Big West Conference. He previously played for the Dayton Flyers.

Early life

Mousa is the son of former basketball player Yaseen Musa.[1][2] He attended the NBA Global Academy in Canberra, Australia. He participated in the Basketball Without Borders event and Nike Hoop Summit in 2024.[3][4] Also in 2024, Mousa played for the Qatar men’s national team in the Asia Cup qualifying games, averaging 9.0 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.5 steals per game.[5] In May 2024, he announced his decision to play college basketball at the University of Dayton, becoming the second player from Qatar to play Division I men's basketball.[6]

College career

Dayton

As a true freshman, Mousa played sparingly, averaging 1.3 points per game.[7]

Cal Poly

Following his freshman season, Mousa transferred to California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, to play for the Cal Poly Mustangs.[8] In his sophomore campaign, Mousa emerged as the Mustangs' leading scorer and rebounder.[9] Against Cal State Northridge, he scored a career-high 34 points in a loss.[10] After the season, Mousa announced that he would once again enter the NCAA transfer portal. He decided to return to Cal Poly for his junior season,[11] declining more lucrative offers of at least $1.5 million per year from other schools.[12]
