Fogle and Huff named to Preseason Impact Player List
SAN RAMON, Calif. – In its first year in the league, Gonzaga unanimously topped the 2026-27 Pac-12 Conference Preseason Media Poll released Thursday. The Zags' Davis Fogle and Braden Huff were selected to the conference's Preseason Player Impact List as well.
Â
The Preseason Media Poll was voted on by a panel of league media members, while the Impact List was selected by the league's nine head coaches.
Â
With the exception of the 2023-24 and 2017-18 seasons, the Zags have been first place in all their respective conference preseason polls since 2001.
Â
Fogle, a sophomore guard, earned conference All-Freshman Team honors last season. He appeared in 29 games, averaging 8.6 points and 3.1 rebounds per game while shooting 51.8 percent from the field. The Anacortes, Wash., native, totaled 259 points, 93 rebounds and 40 assists in his first collegiate season.
Â
Huff, a 6-foot-10 forward, averaged 17.8 points and 5.6 rebounds per game in 18 appearances last season before his season was cut short by injury. The Glen Ellyn, Ill., native shot 66.2 percent from the field, totaling 320 points and 101 rebounds. He scored 19 points and grabbed 11 rebounds in the exhibition at Arkansas on Oct. 24.
