Augustana College Recruiting Class of 2026-27 For this group, we also wanted to introduce you to these guys on a little deeper level. We asked them each to answer three questions: 1. What are you currently planning to study at Augustana and why? If undecided, what are you most excited about from the academic perspective? 2. What is one way you've been active in your community outside of basketball? 3. What do you love about basketball? Jacob Sidwell, 2030, Parkway South HS Classroom: I am currently undecided on what I want to study at Augustana. However, I am interested in exploring business because I enjoy leadership, teamwork, and learning how organizations operate and grow. From an academic perspective, I am most excited about taking a variety of courses, discovering new interests, and finding the field that best matches my strengths and career goals. I look forward to challenging myself in the classroom and gaining knowledge that will help me succeed both professionally and personally. Community: One way I’ve been active in my community outside of basketball is through the National Honor Society. I’ve volunteered with younger students either through basketball camps or donating goods to homeless shelters. These experiences have taught me leadership, reliability, and how small acts of service add up to a real impact. Court: I love the competition and trying to be the best every day. I also love the relationships I make through the game. I enjoy challenging myself to improve my skills and learning from both wins and losses. The game pushes me to grow as a player and as a person, and I love being part of a team working toward a common goal. bxout.com/p/ppib5eh2-augusta… athletics.augustana.edu/news…
