7'0" Senior Center Dominating 2025-26 with 12.3 PPG, 5.5 RPG & 2.1 BPG
Nathan Claerbaut, the 7'0", 230-lb senior center for Central Michigan, is a 2025-26 statistical leader averaging 12.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks per game while shooting 57.7% from the floor[2][3][5]. His differentiator is elite rim protection and efficient scoring, highlighted by a career-high 31-point explosion in December 2025[4]. Beyond stats, Claerbaut brings intense, physical play and a confident personality, admitting he's a 'better basketball player' than his brother despite the size comparison[8]. With no reported injury history and a senior-level intensity, he is an ideal fit for teams needing a reliable, high-motor anchor who controls the paint and finishes efficiently[1][9].
