Ari Hobson brings low-drama efficiency and tough-minutes value for W&L
In the 2025-26 season, Ari Hobson has been a steady frontcourt piece for Washington & Lee, averaging 8.6 points and 3.0 rebounds in 24 games while shooting 46.9% from the field. He doesn’t need the ball a ton to matter: the appeal is his efficiency, physicality, and reputation as a tough competitor—W&L listed him as a “Toughest Competitor” award winner in high school, and he’s already shown he can produce in short bursts, like an 11-point game on 4-of-6 shooting in January 2026. If you want a worker who plays with edge, accepts role-player responsibility, and won’t spook under contact, he’s your guy.
