Dylan Faulkner is Samford’s paint-clearing, double-double engine
In the 2025-26 season, Dylan Faulkner emerged as a high-impact forward for Samford, averaging 17.2 points, 8.6 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks in 26.1 minutes while shooting 61.3% from the field[1][6]. He’s the kind of frontcourt piece coaches love: efficient, physical, and productive on both ends, with recent stretches of 24 points, 10 boards, and three blocks showing he can take over games[9][10]. The fit is clear if a team wants rim pressure, rebounding, and a tough interior presence; the one catch is that he offers little as a perimeter threat, so he’s best paired with spacing around him[6][15].
