Foresters Welcome Seven Newcomers to 2025 Roster

HUNTINGTON, Ind. – With the 2025-26 season on the horizon, Head Coach Jared Jauch and the Huntington University men's basketball program are building momentum with a strong mix of returning talent and fresh faces.

The Foresters will feature a balanced roster made up of seven returners and seven newcomers. This year's incoming class brings a dynamic blend of size, scoring ability, versatility and experience. The group includes five collegiate transfers and two high school standouts, all likely to make immediate contributions on both ends of the floor.

"We're really excited about the direction of our program," said Jauch. "This incoming class checks all the boxes—leadership, skill, toughness, and character. Each of these guys brings something unique to the table, and they're hungry to compete. Combined with our returners, we're putting together a group that Forester fans will be proud of."
