Graduate-Season Power Forward with Elite Scoring Intensity and Trevecca-Tested Rebounding
CJ Penha Jr. is a high-intensity graduate-season forward for Boston College who brings a rare blend of elite scoring (20.3 PPG at Trevecca, 6.3 PPG at BC in 2022-23) and physical rebounding (10.1 RPG at Trevecca). His differentiator is relentless intensity—he started 22/22 games at Trevecca, averaging 34.4 minutes per game, proving he can sustain elite output without injury history concerns. With a career-high 38 efficiency rating in 2025 and a 7/13 FG, 16-point explosion against Duke, he’s a proven fit for teams needing a forward who scores with purpose, rebounds with grit, and plays with graduate-level maturity. Why care? He’s not just a stat leader; he’s a culture-setter who elevates every possession.
