Justin McBride is JMU’s sturdy, efficient inside-out forward
In the 2025-26 season, Justin McBride gave James Madison a reliable high-major-ready frontcourt piece: 15.3 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game while starting 30 of 31 games and earning Third Team All-Sun Belt honors[1][9]. At 6-foot-7, 240 pounds, he brings a tough, physical scoring game, can stretch the floor enough to punish help defense, and showed a real jump as a go-to option—good signs for a team that wants a forward who competes, finishes, and won’t disappear when the game gets grimy[1][8][12].
