UT Arlington announced the addition of Niko Bundalo, a 6‑foot‑10 forward whose high school exploits have already turned heads across the country.
The Mavericks' latest signee arrives after a standout prep career at Prolific Prep, where he earned McDonald's All‑America honors and helped lead his team to national prominence.
A Recruit With National Acclaim
Ranked No. 30 overall by Rivals and positioned as the No. 5 power forward in the Class of 2025, Bundalo brought a blend of size, skill and competitiveness that few prospects could match.
His performances earned him a spot in a national all‑star showcase, where he contributed 12 points, six offensive rebounds, a block and a steal, underscoring his all‑court impact.
During his lone season at Ole Miss, Bundalo appeared in 11 games, registering his first career points against Tennessee on February 3 and pulling down his initial rebounds in a matchup versus CSU Bakersfield on November 14, 2025.
Coaches at Ole Miss described him as the program’s highest‑rated signee in history, a testament to the expectations placed on his development.
Now at UT Arlington, Bundalo joins a roster eager to capitalize on his potential, bringing a fresh narrative to the program as it seeks to climb the conference standings.
The Mavericks' fan base anticipates how his size and work ethic will translate to the collegiate stage, hoping his arrival marks a new chapter of competitiveness.
