6'11 NJIT freshman Zack Scherler brings size, rebounding upside, and low-usage value
In the 2025-26 season, Zack Scherler has been a true depth piece for NJIT, averaging 1.2 points and 1.4 rebounds in 19 games while providing a 6'11, 245-pound body that gives the Highlanders size they can’t fake. His calling card is interior presence and physicality: prep reports described him as a strong two-way force, and NJIT’s staff/roster notes point to him as a reliable post presence. He’s not a volume scorer yet, but for a team needing size, screening, rebounding, and toughness, he’s the kind of big who can quietly earn minutes.
