SAN RAMON, Calif. – The Pac-12 Conference released its Preseason Media Poll and the Preseason Impact List on Thursday, with the Bobcats picked to finish seventh alongside forwards DJ Hall and Paul Djobet earning recognition.

The Preseason Media Poll was voted on by a panel of league media, while the Impact List was selected by the league's nine head coaches. The preseason list results are as follows:

Preseason Media Poll (MBB)

Hall returns after setting the freshman scoring program record and the only Bobcat to eclipse the 500-point mark a season ago. The Plano, Texas native ranked among the Sun Belt's best in both scoring and rebounding, as he led the Bobcats in the categories averaging 15.6 points and 7.7 rebounds per game. A stellar debut campaign that included nine double-doubles and shooting 54.2% (189-349) from the field led to the Sun Belt Conference Freshman of the Year and added Second Team All-Conference honors.

Senior transfer Paul Djobet spent the first two seasons of his collegiate career at Miami (Fla.), making 44 appearances before transferring to Omaha for the 2025-26 season. Djobet put together a breakout junior campaign, averaging 17.5 points and 6.6 rebounds per game while shooting 51.2 percent from the field and 41.5 percent from three-point range. The Lille, France native earned First Team All-Summit League and Summit League All-Newcomer Team honors, highlighted by a 38-point performance against North Dakota State (Feb. 7, 2026) that tied for the second-most points scored by an Omaha player during the program's Division I era.
