Seattle U Reloads Roster With Six New Basketball Signees

Seattle University men’s basketball has reloaded its roster with six new additions ahead of its return to the West Coast Conference in the 2025-26 season. Head Coach Chris Victor announced the signings of guards Jojo Murphy, Miles Amos, and Stratos Papastavrou, along with forwards Brock Felder and Junseok Yeo and center Austin Maurer, bringing a mix of proven collegiate talent and international pedigree to the Redhawk program.

“Our goal is to compete at the highest level, and this class puts us on that path,” Victor said. “We’re excited for what’s ahead in the WCC.”

Murphy, a 6-foot-2 guard from Oakland, California, joins the Redhawks after a decorated three-year career at Chico State. The reigning California Collegiate Athletic Association Player of the Year averaged a conference-best 20.7 points per game as a junior, adding 4.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.5 steals while shooting 47 percent from the field and nearly 39 percent from three-point range.

“Jojo is a dynamic scorer with high-level playmaking ability,” Victor said. “He brings a proven scoring pedigree and leadership from day one.”

Felder, a 6-foot-8 forward, comes from Southern Utah, where he led the WAC in blocks last season with 2.13 per game while averaging 5.8 points and 6.2 rebounds.

“Brock gives us much-needed size, rim protection, and toughness in the paint,” Victor said. “His defensive instincts and work ethic are a perfect fit for our style of play.”

Amos, a 6-foot-2 guard from City College of San Francisco, compiled a 56-7 record across two seasons and helped lead CCSF to a state title, earning NABC All-America and State Tournament MVP honors. He averaged 9.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 1.1 steals as a sophomore while shooting 57 percent from the field and 36 percent from three.

“Miles is a winner at every level and brings a high IQ and versatility to our backcourt,” Victor said. “His ability to impact the game on both ends will make him a valuable asset.”

Yeo, a 6-foot-8 forward and Gonzaga transfer, is entering his senior season and is regarded as one of South Korea’s top basketball talents. He appeared in 39 games for Gonzaga, averaging 2.1 points and 1.0 rebound per game, and previously starred at the NBA Global Academy. At the 2021 FIBA U-19 World Cup, he averaged 25.6 points and 10.6 rebounds for South Korea.

“Junseok is a unique player with international experience and skill versatility,” Victor said. “His development at Gonzaga and performances on the global stage speak volumes about his potential.”

Maurer, a 7-foot center from Medford, Oregon, joins Seattle U after one season at Grand Canyon. The former Oregon Gatorade Player of the Year led Cascade Christian High School to three state titles and averaged 28.7 points, 12.9 rebounds, and 3.4 blocks as a senior.

“Maurer gives us size, skill, and a winning background,” Victor said.

Papastavrou, a 6-foot-7 shooting guard from Athens, Greece, has represented his country at the U16, U17, and U18 levels. In 2024, he was named MVP, Best Scorer, and Best 5 at the Bucharest Balkan Tournament after averaging 14

points, six rebounds, and two assists per game. He currently plays for Panionios BC in the Greek GBL, where he has averaged 19 points, seven rebounds, and four assists per game.

“Stratos brings elite international experience and versatility,” Victor said.

These additions come as Seattle U transitions to the West Coast Conference on July 1, 2025, rejoining a league it helped found before withdrawing from NCAA Division I in 1980. The Redhawks finished the 2024-25 season with a 14-18 record, highlighted by a WAC Tournament semifinal appearance and wins over Washington and UC San Diego.Seattle University men’s basketball has reloaded its roster with six new additions ahead of its return to the West Coast Conference in the 2025-26 season.
