big-bodied, proven scorer with back-injury clouds over his Nebraska fit
In the 2024-25 season at Central Michigan, Ugnius Jarusevicius averaged 16.2 points and 7.3 rebounds, showing legit inside scoring and board work from a 6-foot-11 frame; at Nebraska, though, his 2025-26 impact was derailed by a lingering back injury, and he played just one game before the program explored a medical waiver.[2][4][12] When healthy, he brings size, touch, and the kind of physicality that can matter in the paint—but the real swing factor is durability, because the body has to cooperate before the skills can cash the check.[2][12]
