Jeremiah Cherry is Sacramento State’s bruising two-way paint anchor
In the 2025-26 season, Jeremiah Cherry opened as a high-usage frontcourt force for Sacramento State, averaging 15.5 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 2.3 blocks per game before an injury ended his year after six starts[1][2]. The 6-11 senior’s calling card is interior physicality: he finishes through contact, protects the rim, and can swing a game with rebounding and shot-blocking, as shown by a 15-point, 12-rebound, 5-block outing early in the season[13][14]. He also drew praise as a leading presence and the Hornets’ biggest mismatch in the paint, making him a strong fit for a team needing size, toughness, and a dependable low-post engine[4][15].
