INDIANAPOLIS - The IU Indianapolis men's basketball program and head coach Ben Howlett have announced the additions of five newcomers for the upcoming season as the roster continues to take shape for the 2025-2026 season. Howlett announced three transfers joining the program from West Liberty University in Kyler D'Augustino, JP Dragas and Finley Woodward and another transfer in Corey Boston. In addition, Reece Hagy will join the program as a redshirt freshman after spending last season at Air Force Prep. 

D'Augustino, Dragas and Woodward were key contributors to West Liberty's success under Howlett while Boston, a 5-foot-10 guard, joins the program from Concord University in Athens, W.Va. Hagy, a 6-foot-8 forward, had committed to play for Howlett at West Liberty before opting to join the Jaguars. This group of five joins returner Ajay Holubar and previous signees Micah Davis, Jaxon Edwards, Maguire Mitchell and Gabe Stewart to bring the roster to 10. 

"These guys are really important, foundational guys for us," Howlett said. "They know how to play in our system, know what is expected of them and will set the tone for the program, on and off the floor. They're excited about the opportunity to be here and turn IU Indy into a winning program."
