Collegiate career
editHarvard Crimson (2018–2022)

On November 24, 2018, Forbes recorded 5 points and 2 rebounds in just 13 minutes of playing time in a 74–68 win over Saint Mary's.[3] He scored a freshman high of 9 points in an 83–81 overtime victory over the Columbia Lions.[4]
St. Mary's Gaels (2022–present)
editIn May 2022, it has been reported that Forbes would be transferring schools whereas he would play once again in his home state of California, this time for Randy Bennett and the Saint Mary's Gaels.[5]
