Justus McNair is Valpo’s bench spark with clutch-shot swagger
In the 2025-26 season, Justus McNair emerged as one of Valparaiso’s most useful backcourt pieces, averaging 8.0 points per game and earning MVC All-Bench and Most-Improved Team recognition[10]. The 6-foot-3 guard brings instant offense, improved efficiency, and legitimate shot-making from deep, highlighted by a 17-point outburst on 6-of-8 shooting with four threes in a win over Southern Illinois in the 2025-26 season[14]. His calling card is energy and confidence: he can flip a game with one burst, like his half-court buzzer-beater in the 2024-25 season[1][15].
