Air Force Basketball’s Rising Stars

The Air Force men’s basketball team ended their 2025-26 season with a 4-29 record and 12th place in the Mountain West, but the year was far from dull—thanks to standout freshman Kam Sanders, who shattered multiple records in starts, points, field goal attempts, free throws, assists, and steals. Caleb Walker led the conference in field goal percentage, while Lucas Hobin set freshman marks for three-pointers and ranked high in assists and free throw shooting. Sanders earned MVP honors with the Bob Beckel award, alongside accolades for Kolby Gilles and Eli Robinson, who excelled academically and in military service. The team also captured the Air Force Classic title, with Walker named MVP. With new coaches Brian Boyle and Michael Lyons joining the staff, the program is clearly investing in the future—fueled by rising talent and a renewed direction.
