The Gonzaga Bulldogs have extended an offer to Sam Funches, the top center in the 2026 class, Gonzaga Nation announced on Wednesday.
The five-star recruit is ranked No. 11 overall in his class by 247Sports Composite and has received offers from Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Creighton, Florida State, Ole Miss, and Mississippi State, among others.
Early signs suggest that the 6-foot-10 Funches will attend college close to home. He’s visited Chris Beard and the Rebels three times since being offered in August, the most recent on February 24 when Ole Miss hosted South Carolina. Even with Mississippi State entering the equation late with trips to other SEC schools, On3.com believes the Rebels have the best chance of securing Funches.
With a 247Sports composite rating of 0.9955, Funches would be one of the top recruits in Gonzaga history alongside Chet Holmgren, Jalen Suggs and Hunter Sallis.
