In college, he set the Michigan record for career games played (144). As a college senior, he was a 2018 All Big Ten honorable mention honoree by both the coaches and the media. He was part of the 2016–17 Wolverines team that reached the sweet sixteen round of the 2017 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament and the 2017–18 team that reached the Championship Game of the 2018 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament.

Abdur-Rahkman received over 30 scholarship offers, mostly from second tier programs. As a result, he waited until the late signing period of his senior season in hopes of getting the attention of a major program. Former college basketball coach Dave Rooney had been a friend of John Beilein when the two were both young coaches and recommended that Beilein consider Abdur-Rahkman.[3] [4] In addition to his scholarship offers, Abdur-Rahkman also had serious interest from Boston College, Pitt and Penn State and was expected to land at one of those schools had Michigan not made him an offer.
