Penn freshman William Kruse brings size, shooting touch, and low-usage efficiency
In the 2025-26 season, William Kruse has been a quietly efficient frontcourt piece for Penn: in limited minutes, he’s averaging 1.7 points and 2.0 rebounds while shooting 100.0% from the field and 100.0% from three, with Penn listing him at 6'11" and 240 pounds. The big draw is his clean shooting profile and size combination—he already looks like a modern stretch-forward/projectable interior defender rather than a high-usage scorer. He’s a good fit for a team wanting length, floor-spacing upside, and a low-maintenance big who can grow into a bigger role.
