Brandeis' Sharpshooting Sophomore with Elite Range and Rebounding Prowess
Sophomore guard Jake Bender is lighting it up for Brandeis Judges in 2025-26, averaging 11.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.0 assists per game, highlighted by a career-night explosion of 27 points on 7-of-12 threes in a UAA road win and his first collegiate double-double earlier[1][2][5]. His differentiator? Rare guard versatility—sinking deep bombs at 58% (7/12) while crashing boards like a forward, blending sniper precision with relentless intensity. No injury red flags; he's a clutch performer who elevates teams in big moments. Perfect fit for squads needing spacing, grit, and multi-tool scoring—why care? He's the X-factor turning good teams great.
