Isaiah Chappell is becoming UC Davis’ long, versatile glue guy
In the 2025-26 season, Isaiah Chappell has emerged as a productive 6-foot-9 forward for UC Davis, averaging 8.5 points while shooting 40.2% from the field, 35.6% from three, and 60.0% at the line, plus 4.6 rebounds per game[1][2]. He’s the kind of fit coaches love: a stretch-forward with size, improving perimeter touch, and enough defensive activity to matter beyond the box score, as his 18 starts and team-leader volume suggest[1][2]. The upside play here is clear—use him as a modern frontcourt piece who can space the floor and do a little of everything without needing the ball much[1][2].
