7-foot freshman center Fawaz Ifaola brings size, energy, and rim protection
Ifaola is a **classic impact-size big**: a 7-foot, 245-pound center whose appeal comes less from volume scoring and more from **rebounding, rim protection, and physical presence**. In the 2025-26 season at Colorado, he appeared in 20 games, averaged 7.7 minutes, and posted efficient production in limited touches, including a 67.8 true-shooting percentage and strong rebounding rates[3][5][7]. Coaches and reports describe him as a high-motor post player who can set solid screens, roll hard, and bring energy without needing the ball, though foul trouble and raw offensive polish are still part of the evaluation[9][12][13].
