HARRISONBURG, Va. (JMU Athletics) – James Madison men’s basketball added another piece to its 2026-27 roster as the Dukes signed San Jose State transfer and Virginia native Adrian Myers on Monday, June 1.

Myers, a 6-foot-6 forward from Stephens City, Va., spent the first two seasons of his career at Mississippi State (2023-25), followed by a season at San Jose State (2025-26).

“Adrian brings diverse experience back home to Virginia after playing in two of college basketball’s most respected leagues,” Head Coach Preston Spradlin said. “He is a gifted scorer who can stretch the floor with his shooting, along with using his size and physicality to impact the game on the interior.”
