CHICAGO – DePaul men’s basketball has officially announced its newest addition in 7-2 center, Fabián Flores. Flores will sit out the 2025-26 season as an academic redshirt in preparation for his DePaul debut in 2026-27.
A native of Murcia, Spain, Flores has played for UCAM Murcia in the Basketball Champions League the last two seasons. Prior to that, Flores played in the Youth Basketball Champions League where he averaged 11.8 points, 9.7 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game in 2023.
“Fabián is a talented young man that we think has a bright future here at DePaul,” said head men’s basketball coach Chris Holtmann. “This redshirt year will help him acclimate academically and athletically. Fabián is a good mover with excellent hands, size and length. We anticipate him being able to really help us from day one in the 2026-27 season after his redshirt year.”
