Dominant 6'9" Sophomore Power Forward Anchoring Nevada's Rebounding & Defense
Elijah Price, a 6'9" redshirt sophomore from Long Beach, CA, is Nevada's most impactful transfer, averaging 12.8 points and 8.5 rebounds (52nd nationally) in the 2025-26 season while adding 1.7 blocks and 44.3% FG shooting. His differentiators include elite physical intensity, a 'first-addition' transfer pedigree that made him the Mountain West's top rebounder as a freshman, and a personality that 'defines Nevada Basketball' with relentless hustle. Unlike typical stat-only forwards, Price brings 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks per game from his 2024-25 baseline, showing rare two-way versatility. He has no major injury history, plays 30+ minutes with high stamina, and thrives in high-profile roles. For teams seeking a physical, defensive-minded power forward who can score inside and control the glass, Price is a perfect fit—his intensity and rebounding dominance make him a cornerstone player, not just a stat contributor.
