EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Men’s Basketball announced the signing of forward Ben Ezeague for the 2025-26 season.
“We are very excited that Ben has decided to join our program and are confident that he has the character and the talent to help us win,” said USI Head Coach Stan Gouard. “He is a multi-faceted player who is long, strong, physical, and versatile enough to play multiple positions.
“Ben can be a high-volume rebounder and a blue-collar player who can impact winning without needing to be an offensive focal point,” concluded Gouard.
Ezeague is transferring to USI after spending last season at Appalachian State University. He appeared in six games for the Mountaineers last season, averaging 2.8 points and 2.0 rebounds per contest. The 6-2 guard scored a season-best 12 points and grabbed a season-high nine rebounds versus St. Andrews University.
Prior to playing last year for Appalachian State, Ezeague started 54 games over two seasons at Hill College (2023-24) and Western Texas College (2022-23). He was named All-Conference for Hill College after averaging 12.8 points and 6.1 rebounds.
The Brampton, Ontario, native lettered in basketball at Potter’s House High School (Jacksonville, Florida).
The USI Screaming Eagles are a member of the Ohio Valley Conference and will be NCAA Tournament eligible in 2025-26 following the completion of the accelerated transition from Division II. USI has reached the OVC Championship in two of the first three seasons of Division I action.
