Andrew Nagy Joins the Bison

North Dakota State University announced today that Andrew Nagy, a 6‑foot‑9 forward from Anaheim, California, has signed on to join the Bison’s 2026 recruiting class, adding a versatile scoring option to a program that has become a perennial contender in the Summit League.

Nagy arrives after a standout season at Point Loma Nazarene University, where he earned PacWest Conference Player of the Year honors and helped his team secure a share of the regular‑season title. In 26 games he posted 15.5 points and 6.1 rebounds per game, shooting 62 percent from the field and 36.5 percent beyond the arc.

A PacWest Standout

His efficiency was on full display as he connected on more than three‑fifths of his shots while stretching defenses with a reliable three‑point shot, a combination that caught the eye of Bison coaches.

The numbers speak to a player who can score in the paint and from distance, making him a dual‑threat weapon for the Bison.

Coach Richman’s Praise

Head coach David Richman praised the newcomer’s relentless work ethic and hunger to win, saying, “Andrew brings a rare blend of size, skill and determination that fits perfectly with the culture we’ve built here.”

From Long Beach to Fargo

Before his collegiate breakthrough, Nagy spent a season at Long Beach State where he appeared in 26 games during the 2024‑25 campaign, gaining valuable experience on the West Coast.

The Bison have enjoyed a period of dominance, sweeping the 2026 Summit League regular season and tournament and securing their sixth NCAA Tournament berth since 2009, a streak that underscores the program’s stability and ambition.
