Miles Webb Joins USC Upstate Men’s Basketball for 2026‑27

The 6‑8 forward brings defensive intensity and scoring versatility from Delaware State to the Upstate Spartans

Miles Webb is set to wear the Upstate Spartans jersey for the 2026‑27 campaign after completing a standout stint at Delaware State.

The 6‑foot‑8 forward averaged 9.8 points and 5.7 rebounds per game while shooting 57 percent from the field and 40 percent from three‑point range, numbers that helped the Eagles secure a series of defensive accolades.

Coach Marty Richter’s Vision

Head Coach Marty Richter highlighted Webb’s size and defensive abilities, stating that the new recruit will make an immediate impact on both ends of the floor.

Richter expressed confidence that Webb’s presence will strengthen the team’s interior defense and provide additional scoring options, especially in transition.

Webb’s collegiate journey began at Saint Francis, where he appeared in 63 games over three seasons, before transferring to Delaware State for the past two years.

During his time at Delaware State, Webb earned two MEAC Defensive Player of the Week honors, first on December 8, 2025, and again on January 12, 2026, underscoring his defensive contributions.

His season‑high performance came on March 5, 2026, when he posted 21 points against UMES, a game that showcased his ability to score in bursts while still controlling the boards.

A Look Back at the Path to Upstate

Before his Delaware State chapter, Webb spent three seasons at Saint Francis, where his highest scoring output was a 19‑point effort against Sacred Heart on January 25, 2024.

The move to USC Upstate represents a continuation of his development under a program that emphasizes defensive intensity and versatile front‑court play.

With the signing class now complete, the Upstate coaching staff believes Webb will be a key piece in their quest to compete at the top of the conference.
