VMI’s Cal Liston is a rising, versatile forward with real two-way upside
In the 2025-26 season, Cal Liston showed growth as a **6-5, 217-pound** junior forward for VMI, highlighted by a **career-high 21 points at Chattanooga**, a **12-rebound** game vs. Christendom, and expanded creation with a **career-high 4 assists** vs. Jacksonville.[5][8] He brings size, rebounding, and enough shooting flashes to stretch the floor, while his season profile suggests a sturdy role-player who can plug into multiple lineups rather than needing touches to be effective.[5][1] For a team, the appeal is straightforward: he looks like a physical, low-drama frontcourt piece with upside if his efficiency and consistency continue to climb.[5][3]
