RADFORD, Va. – The Radford men's basketball program and head coach Zach Chu announced Monday afternoon that Cameron Jackson and Mathieu Grujicic have signed with the Highlanders for the upcoming 2026-27 season.
CAMERON JACKSON
Forward | 6-8 | 240 | Pflugerville, Texas | UT Arlington
COACH'S WORD ON CAMERON: "Adding Cam to our frontcourt solidifies both our interior defense and ability to grab rebounds as a team. On top of that Cam brings untapped potential as a paint scorer and a creator offensively, and most importantly is a high character addition as a student-athlete to our program."
MATHIEU GRUJICIC
Guard | 6-7 | 210 | Arles, France | Ohio State
COACH'S WORD ON MATHIEU: "Mathieu joins Radford as one of the most decorated European youth athletes in recent history. His accomplishments speak volumes to what he'll be adding to our program; a high level shooter, outstanding creator on both ends of the floor, and an outstanding person on and off the court."
