Charles Higby Jr. is a glue-guy wing with defensive value and efficient flashes
In the 2025-26 season, Charles Higby Jr. has been a low-usage, high-reliability piece for Hawaiʻi Hilo, averaging 3.0 points and 3.0 rebounds in 9-13 minutes per game depending on the source, with a perfect shooting start in limited action and a career-high 11 points against Fresno Pacific in the 2025-26 season.[2][1] The selling point is his versatility as a 6-4 G/F who can defend, rebound, and make winning plays without needing the offense built around him; he also earned PacWest Defender of the Week honors in January 2025 and has been recognized for academic excellence, which usually screams coach-friendly, high-IQ, role-player energy.[1][4][7]
