Counted from the 2025-26 roster. We recount when Ouachita Baptist's 2026-27 roster goes up, and the change log shows it.

OBU went 1-4 in MIAA duals and finished 10th of 11 at Super Region 4 in 2026 — what is the plan to move the team up in a region that includes Central Oklahoma, Nebraska-Kearney and Central Missouri?
Jimmy Anderson placed fourth nationally in 2025 — what did his training and competition schedule look like, and can that be replicated for an incoming freshman?
