UT Arlington Guard Marcus Rigsby Jr.: Reliable Junior Scorer with High-Intensity Presence
Marcus Rigsby Jr. is a 6'3", 203-lb junior guard for UT Arlington who delivered a consistent 2024-25 season by appearing in all 34 games (30 starts) and averaging 6.9 points on 36.2% shooting [1]. In the 2025-26 season, he remains a steady contributor with 4.6 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 0.7 assists per game across 31 appearances, shooting 40.7% from the field [2][4]. His differentiator is his durability and intensity; starting 30 games as a junior shows he earns the coach's trust in critical moments, and his 203-lb frame allows him to battle through contact despite modest scoring averages [1][5]. While not a primary stat leader, his reliability and physicality make him a solid fit for teams needing a tough, low-maintenance guard who can play 17+ minutes without flinching [4].
