Parker Applegate brings size, rebounding, and a long-range touch to UCA’s frontcourt
In the 2025-26 season, Parker Applegate is a versatile 6-8 guard/wing for Central Arkansas who gives the Bears lineup flexibility with his size, shooting pedigree, and rebounding instincts. He transferred in after averaging 12.3 points and 9.0 rebounds as a sophomore at Union, including 53.6% shooting from three and 87.9% from the line, which is rare efficiency for a player his size. The caution flag: his 2025-26 production at UCA has been modest, so the appeal is more about upside, proven efficiency, and fit than box-score dominance.
