Markhi Strickland is North Dakota State’s efficient, physical two-way wing who finishes plays and keeps the offense humming
In the 2025-26 season, Markhi Strickland has been a steady interior-finishing guard for North Dakota State, averaging 11.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 0.8 steals per game while shooting 59.6% from the field and starting 33 of 35 games. He’s ranked among the nation’s best finishers by field-goal percentage, and NDSU has highlighted that he scores without relying on threes, which makes him a clean fit for teams wanting a tough, low-drama, high-efficiency guard. He also brings bounce and physicality, plus a bounce-back story after a prior injury — the kind of player coaches tend to love.
