Securing Another Frenchman, Gonzaga Signs Experienced Point Guard to Roster

Putting the finishing touches on their 2026-27 roster, the Gonzaga Bulldogs made another addition to the backcourt, reportedly completing the recruitment of Nathan De Sousa from France.

The 6-1 point guard has spent the last six seasons playing professionally in his native country, breaking out this past year in the premier French league. De Sousa becomes the second player from France to join the Zags this offseason, as 18-year-old guard Juwan Ekanga-Ehawa finalized his commitment with GU last week.

With the new NCAA Division I Cabinet rules set in place, the 23-year-old will have only one year of eligibility since his ‘five-year window’ of finishing four seasons in five years started during the 2022-23 campaign. Part of a substantial roster overhaul, De Sousa will be the eighth Bulldog who is in their first year in Spokane.
