Two-way force and elite defensive standout for Kean
Daniel Dextraze has been a reliable two-way anchor for Kean in the 2025-26 season, starting all 26 games while averaging 14.5 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in 33.8 minutes per game; he also led the Cougars in three-pointers made (80), rebounds (202), and blocks (32), and earned All-NJAC Second Team plus two NJAC Defensive Player of the Week honors. [1][2][5][6] What makes him valuable is his rare blend of size, rim protection, and perimeter scoring for a forward, giving a team a tough, high-motor frontcourt player who impacts both ends even when the shot isn’t falling.
