SAN BRUNO, Calif. – Santa Clara men's basketball's Brad Longcor III is the West Coast Conference's Freshman of the Week for the week of Nov. 9, as announced by the conference on Monday.

Longcor, playing in his first collegiate season after sitting out in 2025-26 with a redshirt, had an outstanding three-game start to his career, averaging 12.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.3 steals per contest to help guide the Broncos to a 3-0 start with wins over Towson, Milwaukee and Sacramento State.

A native of Quincy, Ill., Longcor opened his career with 18 points on 5-of-9 shooting (3-of-5 3PT) and a perfect 5-for-5 at the free throw line against Towson. He also pulled down four rebounds to go with three assists and a steal. Two nights later, Longcor once again reached double-figure scoring with 11 points to go with season highs in both assists (5) and blocks (2) in the win over Milwaukee. He closed the week by pulling down a season-best six rebounds to go with a pair of steals and seven total points (2-4 3PT) in SCU's 83-77 victory over Sacramento State.
