Grant Newell brings stretch-4 scoring punch to WKU
In the 2025-26 season, Grant Newell was a steady, high-end scoring forward for Western Kentucky, averaging 13.0 points and 4.5 rebounds per game while playing all 32 games and earning All-Conference USA Honorable Mention[4][6]. What jumps off the page is the modern forward profile: at 6-9, he can stretch the floor, hit threes in volume, and still chip in with blocks and playmaking, even posting multiple 20-point games and a 25-point explosion against UTEP[1][11][13]. If your team wants a veteran, academically driven, perimeter-capable four with proven production, Newell is a strong fit[4].
