ATLANTIC CITY, New Jersey – The Marist University men's basketball team had two selections to the Preseason All-Metro Conference Team, which was announced Wednesday morning.
 
Graduate guard Jadin Collins-Roberts was a First Team selection, and senior guard Jack Graham was selected to the Third Team.
 
Collins-Roberts has appeared in all 92 games the Red Foxes have played in over the course of the last three years. Marist has won 57 of them, marking the program's best three-year stretch in 18 years. He finished 10^th in the conference in assists last year after placing ninth the previous season, and he was seventh in steals as a freshman in 2023-24. Last year, Collins-Roberts became the first team captain named by head coach John Dunne in his tenure at Marist.
 
Graham is entering his first season as a Red Fox. He played the 2025-26 season at New Hampshire, where he averaged 11.4 points per game and hit 56 three-pointers. Graham began his collegiate career at Richmond, where he appeared in 17 games from 2023-25, and he was part of the Spiders' Atlantic 10 regular-season championship team in the 2023-24 season.
 
As a team, Marist was picked to finish fifth in the Metro Preseason Poll.
