By admin — In News — July 8, 2026

   ​If you were curious, Villanova Basketball has released the full roster with jersey numbers for the 2026-27 season. The Wildcats are entering with a refreshed lineup, which means most players have new numbers, though some familiar faces remain in their prior roles. Notably, Tyler Perkins will return to his familiar No. 4, continuing to anchor the backcourt this season. In addition to Perkins, there are several shifts across the roster: Matt Hodge has changed his number, and Nico Onyekwere will wear No. 15 instead of No. 21, a number that has been reassigned to Devin Royal.
The team announced the complete list of jersey numbers on Wednesday morning via their social media channels, and the list is as follows:
– Elijah Crawford — No. 1
– Brady Muller — No. 2
– Matt Hodge — No. 3
– Tyler Perkins — No. 4
– Carter Fisk — No. 5
– Adam Oumiddoch — No. 7
– Buddy Simmons — No. 8
– Kwame Evans Jr. — No. 10
– Wade Chiddick — No. 14
– Nico Onyekwere — No. 15
– Luigi Suigo — No. 19
– Devin Royal — No. 21
– Jake Fiegen — No. 22
The roster’s reshuffle signals an exciting transition for Villanova as they pursue strong performances this season. With Perkins at No. 4 and Onyekwere now donning No. 15, the team’s on-court identity may look a bit different, even as the core leadership remains steady. Fans and supporters can expect to see these players donning their new digits as the Wildcats tip off the 2026-27 campaign.
