BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Samford University head men's basketball coach Bucky McMillan announced the signing of Daniel Lobach, a 6-7 redshirt freshman forward, on Wednesday, June 16. Lobach comes to Samford from Rutgers University and is the eighth student-athlete to sign with the Bulldogs since the period began on April 15.
Â
"Daniel Lobach will be a great addition to Samford University," McMillan said. "He is a versatile student-athlete with the ability to score from anywhere on the court. He is also a young man with outstanding character and drive, who wants to be a part of what we're building here at Samford."
Â
The Durham, N.C., native, spent the past two seasons at Rutgers University, where he received a medical redshirt following the 2019-20 season. He made his collegiate debut for the Scarlet Knights versus Sacred Heart on Nov. 25, 2020.
Â
Prior to his time in New Brunswick, N.J., Lobach was a highly recruited forward for head coach Jeremy Ellis at Moravian Prep, a postgraduate program in Hickory (N.C.) that featured multiple nationally ranked prospects from across the country. While at Moravian, the squad captured the 2018 USA National Prep School Showcase.
Â
Lobach also attended Cape Fear Christian Academy in Erwin (N.C.), where he played under head coach Dwight Miller before graduating from Arrows Academy in 2018.
Â
The skilled wing, who boasts a 7-foot wingspan, earned an invitation to play in the North Carolina Top 80 Exposure Camp in Greensboro while competing for Big Shots Elite N.C. on the AAU circuit.
Â
Lobach joins a star-studded class that also includes Wesley Cardet, Jr. (6-6, Guard), Konstantin Dotsenko (6-7, Forward), Ques Glover (6-0, Guard), Cooper Kaifes (6-4, Guard), Jermaine Marshall (6-7, Forward), Jaden Campbell (6-5, Guard) and Angel Smith (6-5, Guard).
