2025 ODU Basketball Roster Churn

Updated as of March 24, 2025 - Jared Turner commits to ODU while Dani Pounds, Deion Ware and Vytautas Zygas enter portal.

Here's your one stop shop for information on the 2025-2026 ODU Men's Basketball Roster. As of this posting, the Monarchs have three rosters spot remaining for the season but that will change as players enter the portal, commit to ODU or walk-ons are put on scholarship.

It should be noted that the NCAA has implemented a roster limit of 15 for basketball next season, so we could see significant change this offseason for both scholarship and walk-on athletes at ODU. What we don't know is if ODU will treat walk-ons now as practice players. Will they make a push to have every rostered athlete on scholarship? We honestly don't know. So, until the decision on how to deal with these new limits are known, we will act as if all the athletes are returning. 

Make sure to bookmark this page as we will post updates as they become available. Class year will be for the 2025-26 season.
