A Look At The Squad

The Deacs’ 2025-26 roster features a mixture of strong veteran returners along with a talented incoming class of transfers and freshmen. 

Following a season in which he started all 32 games and led the Demon Deacons in rebounding, graduate Tre’Von Spillers returns for his second season while sophomore Juke Harris and junior Omaha Biliew will look to build on their debut seasons in Winston-Salem. 

A strong group of incoming transfers include all-conference selections Cooper Schwieger and Nate Calmese, reigning Summit League Freshman of the Year Sebastian Akins, 2023 Conference USA All-Freshman Team honoree Mekhi Mason and Purdue standout Myles Colvin along with rising freshmen Isaac Carr, Jaylen Cross and Dimitrije Kovacevic.
