Sam Nosakhare is a high-motor 6-9 defensive forward carving out a role for Quinnipiac
In the 2025-26 season, Nosakhare has been a low-usage freshman forward who brings size, rim protection, and rebounding to Quinnipiac, with 11 blocks and 18 rebounds in 9 games while playing about 10 minutes per game. His value is less about scoring and more about interior defense, energy, and clean finishing around the basket; scouting notes also describe him as a strong rebounder and one of the better defensive prep prospects in New England. If you need a developing big who can defend, rebound, and grow into a bigger role, he is a sensible fit.
