Jalen Cherry is McMurry’s two-way force on the glass
Cherry, a senior guard/forward for McMurry, has recently separated himself with elite rebounding and disruptive defense, earning SCAC Defensive Player of the Week honors after a 22-rebound outburst and a 16.5 rebounds-per-game weekend. In the 2025-26 season context, he looks like a high-motor, high-impact wing who can change possession battles, create extra chances, and contribute scoring when needed. His mix of size, intensity, and defensive activity makes him a strong fit for a team that values toughness, versatility, and winning the possession game.
