As a prep player, Nunez was ranked No. 57 in the country by Rivals. He was a McDonalds All-American Game nominee.

Last year with the Roadrunners, Nunez played in 22 games with 21 starts. He averaged 9.8 points and 2.8 assists per game while shooting 89 percent from the foul line. The 6-foot-2 San Antonio native has been a 30 percent three-point shooter over his four seasons. He scored double figures in eight straight conference games at UTSA.

Wade continues to add mature players to the roster. Nunez is a fifth-year player with 84 career games played.
