A LOOK BACK
Radford and Ferrum have met just one time during the regular season. That match up came back in November 2004 in the Dedmon Center with the Highlanders coming out on top 89-60.

FAMILIAR FACES
The Highlanders return five players from the 2025-26 season, the second most in the Big South. Frederik Erichsen returns the most minutes from last season after being named to the conference's all-freshman team after averaging 13.3 minutes and 5.6 points per game. Zion Walker will also look to slot back up into the lineup for Radford after red shirting last season. In his freshman year of 2024-25, Walker averaged 11.2 minutes and 5.9 points per game despite missing the last part of the season due to injury.

Gabriel Ferreira and Warren Keel Jr. will also look to step into bigger roles for their sophomore seasons after promising signs in their debuts last year. Rounding out the returners for Radford going into this season will also be Diogo Alves who redshirted the previous season.

MEET THE NEW GUYS
Radford will bolster their roster this season with 10 newcomers. While Radford will see no players on the roster from last season who averaged more than 15 minutes per game, the team will look to replicate their success of developing unproven players from last season. Ja'Corey Robinson joins the team after impressive showing last year as a freshman at Austin Peay. Tristan Gross will provide some much-needed leadership to the young squad for his senior season with an added NCAA Tournament experience from his time at Stetson.

From the power ranks, Radford adds exciting names to watch in Jordyn Kee (Miami and Georgia) as well as Mathieu Grujicic (Ohio State). The Highlanders added local with Narrows, Va. native Kolier Pruett and a pair from southern California in Alex Nokes in Kye Davis. Cameron Jackson provides more experience after playing consistently with UT Arlington last season along with Parby Kabamba who transferred in from an elite defensive squad from last year in Marist. Rounding out the newcomers will be one of two true freshmen on the squad in Dallas, Texas native Caden Cantrell.
