SMITHFIELD, R.I. -- With the first day of the fall semester upon us, Bryant men's basketball head coach Jamion Christian has finalized the roster for the 2025-26 season.

Christian's first team will consist of seven returners, nine freshmen and four transfers. The Bulldogs met as a team for the first time on September 1 and will tip off the 2025-26 season on November 3 at Siena.

Returners

• Bryant's group of returners is led by Jakai Robinson and Aaron Davis III and also includes Khalil Williams, Jayden Brown, Langston Bailey, Frankie Vassalluzzo and Jason Sepe.
• Robinson and Davis both played key roles in Bryant's 2025 America East Championship, with Robinson appearing in all but two games and posting career highs in ppg (5.8) and rpg (3.4).
• Davis missed the last five weeks of the season with an injury but provided key baskets early in conference play to help the Black and Gold retain the No. 1 seed. The biggest shots came on the road at UMBC when he drilled a pair of late threes as part of a career-high 13-point effort in a comeback win.
• Vassalluzzo (14 games) and Brown (13) both came off the bench late in games for the Black and Gold last year. Williams, Bailey and Sepe did not see action last season.

Freshmen

• Christian's first roster will feature the largest freshmen class in DI program history. Of the nine first-year players, three are from New England, three come from Maryland and three are international players. 
• Ty Tabales is the headliner from Bryant's local contingent as he reclassified this summer to join the Black and Gold. A native of Worcester, Mass., Tabales prepped at New Hampton School after leading his Worcester North team to a Massachusetts Division I state title.
• Bryant also welcome Connecticut native Reed Woerner and North Kingstown native Michael DeOrsey to the rookie class.
• The Bulldogs also hit the state of Maryland hard in recruiting, welcoming Ashley Sims II (Glen Burnie), Joe Green (Baltimore) and Gio Sanford (Glen Dale). Sims played with Fear of God Athletics in OvertimeElite, averaging 9.7 ppg, 5.6 rpg and 1.8 apg.
• Green was named the Baltimore Catholic League Defensive Player of the Year and a second team All-BCL selection this past season.
• Sanford shined at Riverdale Baptist and was a key part of Team Museum in the AAU circuit.
• Bryant's trio of international freshmen include Ethane Bourgade (France), Timofei Rudovskii (Russia) and Daniel Akoue (Gabon). Bourgade played for Le Mans' U21 team, averaging 16.7 ppg, 5.6 rpg, 1.9 apg, 1.6 spg and 1.5 bpg in his last full season in 2023-24.
• Rudovskii played at Dream City Christian in Arizona and was a nominee for the McDonald's All-American game.
• Akoue is a 6-foot-10 big wing that played at Southern Coast Academy last season. He has competed internationally for Gabon in the 2025 AfroBasket Qualifiers.

• Quincy Allen, Keegan Harvey, Lennart Weber and Jaheim Nyam are Bryant's four transfers.
• Allen was the 2020-21 Washington, D.C. Gatorade Player of the Year at the Maret School before spending two seasons at Colorado, one at James Madison and last season at Chicago State.
