A top 50 high school prospect out of Suffolk, VA, Epps averaged 9.5 points and 1.5 assists per game as a freshman at Illinois in 2022-23 before entering the transfer portal after the 2023 NCAA tournament. At Georgetown, he became one of the most proficient scorers of the decade, beginning with a game versus American where he scored 20 of his game high 31 points in the final six minutes of the second half and 14 in the final 2:17. Six days later, he scored 34 against Jackson State, 24 after halftime. Epps led the 2023-24 team in scoring in 16 of 29 games, including seven games of 30 or more points, the most in a season by any player since 1996. Despite finishing third in the Big East in scoring, Epps was not selected to any Big East all-conference teams, as his shooting numbers sank to 35 percent from the field and 25 percent from three at season's end.

Epps' role became more complementary as a junior with the arrivals of Thomas Sorber and Micah Peavy. Though he only led the team in scoring in five games, Epps was a consistent option throughout the season, starting in 22 of 27 games with a season high of 22 versus Creighton. Epps' shooting visibly lagged towards the end of the season, shooting a combined 29 percent from the field over his final five games.

A transfer in the spring of 2025, Epps' career scoring total at Georgetown was the most in a two year run since Jessie Govan from 2017 through 2019, while his average of 15.7 points per game ranks 17th overall.
