Davidson’s 6-8 walk-on who’s already brought size, rebounding, and late-blooming upside
In the 2025-26 season, John Nowland went from practice player to rostered Davidson forward and logged minutes in five games, showing a small but real early role with 3 points and 1 rebound in official team notes, while his high-school résumé hints at the bigger sell: a 6-8 frame, All-State honors, captaincy, and a 15-point, 10-rebound, 1-block, 1-steal per game senior season. He’s a fit if you want length, effort, and a developmental frontcourt piece with underdog energy; the upside story is more about physical tools and competitiveness than headline stats.
