Record-Setting Rebounder from USC Aiken, Ex-Mercer Commit
Paul Larsen, a 6'6" power forward born in 1992, set USC Aiken's single-season rebound record at 326 while averaging 7.6 PPG and 5.5 RPG career-wide; as a sophomore there, he posted 1.6 PPG and 1.4 RPG in 32 games after transferring from Mercer, where he was a top-120 ESPN recruit with dominant high school stats of 16.9 PPG and 8.2 RPG senior year. His rebounding tenacity and physicality stand out, making him a gritty frontcourt anchor ideal for teams needing blue-collar intensity over flash—though now 34 in 2026, his pro stint in Peru highlights enduring pro-level durability.
