Rowan Linder brings instant bench pop for Salve Regina
In the 2025-26 season, freshman guard Rowan Linder has flashed efficient scoring punch off the bench for Salve Regina, including a season-best 16 points on 6-of-8 shooting and another 10-point outing in a win, while averaging 11.7 minutes, 4.1 points, 2.0 rebounds, and shooting 51.8% from the field. He looks like a compact, energetic combo guard who can give a team low-ego, instant-offense minutes; the upside is his shot-making and spark-plug role, while the question is whether his impact scales against tougher, deeper backcourts. For a team needing pace, energy, and a ready scorer, he’s a very interesting fit.
