LMU continues to bolster its 2026-27 roster with the signing of Zamir Paschal out of Portland, Ore. Paschal is an incoming freshman from Central Catholic High School and is the top-ranked player in the state of Oregon according to 24-7 Sports and Rivals.
 
Paschal's game is highlighted by his speed and ability to push in transition to finish at the rim or get his teammates open looks. Paschal also is a proven scorer in the halfcourt with strong ball-handling skills and leadership. A smart defender, Paschal has proven his ability to perform on both ends of the courts leading to selections to both the OSAA All-State First Team and the Mt. Hood All-League First Team as a senior.
 
In the 6A state semifinal win against Jesuit, Paschal scored 19 of his 23 points in the fourth quarter and finished perfect from the floor going 7-for-7.
