CSU Pueblo is projected to finish second in the 2026-27 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference after a 22-win season, its best in years. Two ThunderWolves—transfer Marzouq Abdur-Razaaq and returning guard Jaden Kennis—were named to the Preseason All-RMAC team as the program looks to build on last season’s resurgence.

By the Numbers
  • CSU Pueblo received 178 poll points, 14 behind favorite Black Hills State, which earned 192.
  • The ThunderWolves went 22-8 overall and 15-5 in RMAC play in 2025-26.
  • Abdur-Razaaq averaged 14.2 points and 5.9 rebounds per game at UCCS last season.
  • Kennis averaged 11.2 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game.
State of Play
  • CSU Pueblo returns seven letterwinners, including starters Kennis and Macoy Terry, and adds eight newcomers.
  • The team’s first game is Nov. 13 against Midwestern State; RMAC play begins Dec. 3 against Fort Lewis.
Bottom Line

With a proven returning core, two preseason all-conference selections and a strengthened roster, CSU Pueblo enters Zach Ruebesam’s second season with a credible opportunity to contend near the top of the RMAC.
