Men’s Basketball Announces Three Additions to 2025-26 Roster

LEWISBURG, Pa. – Bucknell head men's basketball coach John Griffin III has announced the addition of three newcomers – one freshman and two inbound transfers – to the 2025-26 roster. Joining the squad will be 6'11" freshman forward/center Amon Dörries from Potsdam, Germany; 6'10" junior center Grgur Brcic, a Zagreb, Croatia native who spent the last two seasons at Toledo; and 6'5" sophomore wing Aleksander Pachucki, a Fordham transfer who hails from Scarborough, Ontario.

Dörries, Brcic, and Pachucki round out a talented incoming class that also includes two backcourt additions in early signees Pat Curtin and Jacob Meachem.

"We're excited to bring this group of five newcomers into the Bucknell Basketball family," said Griffin. "They offer a unique mix of skill, strength, and athleticism, and their international backgrounds bring valuable perspective and experience to our locker room. Most importantly, they've each shown a competitive edge and a level of character that fits the culture we're building. We believe they'll represent Bucknell and the Lewisburg community with pride."

Here is more information on each of Bucknell's three spring signees.
