Efficient paint anchor who protects the rim and rebounds like it’s his job
In the 2015-16 season at Michigan State, Costello averaged 10.7 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks per game while shooting 56.1% from the field, giving the Spartans a high-efficiency frontcourt piece with real rim protection and glass-cleaning value[2][6]. His calling card is toughness: he plays with sturdy, low-drama physicality, finishes inside, and brings dependable effort on both ends, which matters for teams needing a reliable big more than a highlight machine[2][9].
