TULSA, Okla. – The Oral Roberts men's basketball team and Head Coach Kory Barnett have announced the addition of transfer guard Connor Dow to the 2025-26 roster.

"We're thrilled to welcome Connor Dow back home to Tulsa and the Oral Roberts family," said Coach Barnett. "Connor is a high-character leader whose faith and integrity set the tone on and off the court. His high IQ, unselfishness & elite shooting will make an immediate impact, but just as important is his passion for building something special. We're excited to see the mark he'll make here."

From Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, Dow transfers to the Golden Eagles after playing two seasons at Oklahoma State. The 6-6 guard has appeared in 51 games with eight starts. Dow holds career averages of 1.8 points and 1.4 rebounds in 10.0 minutes per game. In 2023–24, he played in 27 contests and started seven, averaging 1.9 points in 11.3 minutes. He cracked the starting lineup in late January and early February, including his first career start at Kansas State (Jan. 20), where he recorded six points, three rebounds, two assists, and a steal.

In 2023–24, Dow opened his college career with a season-high nine points on 3-of-7 shooting from deep against Abilene Christian. He also hit a combined 4-of-9 from long range during Thanksgiving Week wins over New Orleans and Houston Christian. In 2024–25, he continued to make the most of his time on the court, improving his shooting efficiency to 38.9% from the field and 37.0% from three-point range. He posted a career-high 12 points, including four three-pointers, in a Big 12 Tournament matchup against Cincinnati.

Across both seasons, he has totaled 93 points, 72 rebounds, 19 steals, 16 assists, and 22 made threes.

In high school, Dow was named to The Oklahoman's Super 5 first-team marking him as one of the state's top five players. A three-star recruit, he ranked No. 3 in Oklahoma and among the top 250 nationally (per 247Sports). As a senior, he averaged 16 points per game and led Broken Arrow High School to a 28-2 record and a runner-up finish in the Oklahoma 6A state championship. He was also a 2023 Oklahoma Coaches Association All-Star (Large East) and stood out on the 2022 Nike EYBL circuit with Team Griffin, shooting 44% from beyond the arc.
