Returnees:

• Junior Eriq Campbell, a 2025 NJAC Honorable Mention selection, is the leading scorer (13.7 ppg) and rebounder (5.2 rpg) among returnees for the Ospreys. Campbell is a superb athlete who contributes in all areas of the game. The guard shot 47.8% from the floor and also made an impact defensively by leading the team in steals (1.4 spg) and finishing second in blocks (0.6 bpg) last year.
• Senior Tayvon Gaither is Stockton's top scoring threat in the paint with his combination of strength and finesse. Gaither is the most experienced player on the roster, with 82 games played and 50 starts during which he has averaged 10.0 points per game. He begins his senior season with 821 career points.
• Sophomores Jahmir Payoute and Logan Mckee could be in line for even bigger roles after they were key newcomers as freshman. Last year, Payoute, a four-time NJAC Rookie of the Week, played in all 28 games, averaging 4.5 points and 5.0 rebounds per game to go with 47.7% shooting from the field.
• Mckee averaged 8.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.8 three-pointers in 22 games in his first season. He finished second on the team with 34 treys and was an NJAC Rookie of the Week honoree twice.
• Junior Devon Johnson joins Mckee as a threat from long distance. Johnson was third on the team with 34 three-pointers last season and he has shot 35.8% from beyond the arc in 47 career games as an Osprey.
• Junior Andrew Crawford provides intangibles and steady play at both ends of the floor. In 12.4 minutes per game last year, Crawford produced a 2.8 assist-turnover ratio (42 assists/15 turnovers) and also contributed 2.1 rebounds per game plus 22 total steals.
• Junior Michael Evans gives Stockton another long-range shooting option. Evans saw an uptick in playing time during the second half of last season and played a valuable role, shooting 40.7% (11-27) from the three-point line in 12 games played overall
• Sophomores Miles Chevalier and Cooper Shivers will provide depth in the backcourt. Chevalier and Shivers played in 11 and five games respectively off the bench as rookies.
• Redshirt freshmen DJ Germann and Anthony Trombetta return after missing last season due to injury. Germann played the first five games of 2024-25 at point guard, including four starts, before an injury derailed his first season at Stockton.

 Newcomers:

• Junior transfer Justin Harper brings experience from two seasons at Georgian Court, where he averaged 8.8 points and 3.5 rebounds per game while shooting 42.2% from the field in 32 games played for the Lions.
• Sophomore transfer Charlie Bell joins the team after playing at Kutztown University last season. Bell appeared in 19 games for the Golden Bears, totaling 26 points and 22 rebounds in 8.3 minutes per game.
• Senior Colin Raimann adds maturity in his first season on the team. Raimann possesses experience from two years at Ocean County College, where he played in 24 games.
• A quartet of freshmen, Alex Fessel, Alex Konov, Walter Garrison and Riley Powell, will vie for playing time. Fessel is an exciting prospect at point guard and Konov is a sharpshooter who played for the Philippines in the 2022 FIBA U16 Asian Championship, averaging 10.0 points per game.
• Powell, a lengthy 6-7 forward, and Garrison, who plays small forward, will compete for playing time and add depth in the frontcourt.
