Rafael Castro is GW’s two-way anchor in the paint
In the 2025-26 season, Rafael Castro emerged as George Washington’s most complete big man, leading the team in scoring, rebounding, steals, and blocks while earning Atlantic 10 All-Conference Second Team and All-Defensive honors.[4] He brings efficient interior scoring, rim protection, and real defensive playmaking from the center spot, with the added value of making enough extra passes to keep an offense flowing.[2][5] At 6'9" with a strong motor, he looks like a high-fit frontcourt piece for teams needing a physical, disruptive, low-maintenance paint presence.[15][16]
