Freshman Forward Hadrian Reitsma: High-Motor 6'5" Project with Room to Grow in NCAA D-III
Hadrian Reitsma, a 6'5", 170-lb freshman forward from Rockwall, TX for the University of Dallas Crusaders (NCAA D-III), is a high-intensity developmental project whose primary differentiator is his relentless energy rather than current scoring output. In the 2025-26 season, he averaged 4.6 points, 1.0 rebound, and 0.5 assists in 13.4 minutes per game while shooting 38.5% from the field, though early stats show volatility with just 20% FG in his first two appearances [1][2]. His 170-lb frame suggests he needs to add muscle to compete physically against bigger forwards, but his fresh-man status and Texas roots indicate strong upside for a team willing to invest in growth. He is not yet a fit for a team needing immediate scoring or defensive dominance, but an excellent fit for a program prioritizing intensity, work ethic, and long-term potential in the D-III landscape.
