HACKENSACK, N.J. – Jack Castleberry announced the 2026-27 FDU men's basketball roster on Tuesday morning. The Knights will roll out a roster of 16 players, with ten new additions joining the cavalry ahead of next season.

FDU will return a core of six players from last year's team. This group is headlined by reigning NEC Rookie of the Year David Jevtic, who returns to Hackensack after a promising freshman campaign. The remaining returners are Elijah Godbolt, Raysean Johnson, Sebastian Haubro, Andrew Canda, and Tyler McQuaid. Godbolt and Johnson combined to make 19 starts in the Knights' backcourt last season and were both regular members of the rotation.

This offseason, Castleberry and his staff signed seven transfers and three incoming freshmen. Of the seven transfers, five have previously attended a Division I institution. The signing class is evenly split between five guards and five forwards. With four players standing 6'7" or taller, the Knights reloaded their frontcourt, while still adding talent on the perimeter.
