The Fayetteville Tech men’s basketball roster will sport a new look for the 2019-20 season, as the Trojans return just four players from last year’s squad.
Guards DeShaun Leftwich and Gabe Harbison, as well as forwards DaJuan Hill and Mike Collins will be familiar faces, all returning from last year’s regional qualifying team.
Leftwich is the only returning of the Trojans’ top five scorers from last season, when he averaged 11 points per game. The other four Trojans who averaged double-digit points last season — Zach Boggs, Johnny Hughes, Tyler Lloyd and Nick Kuhns — were all sophomores.
Harbison was a key contributor in the frontcourt, playing in 27 games and averaging 2.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists.
Collins played in 28 games, pulling down 2.5 rebounds and scoring 3.5 points on average.

In addition to those returners, the Trojans get back starting point guard Josh Haymer, who redshirted last season after two games following an ACL tear.
Freshman forward Miels Sutton also rejoins the team after redshirting last season.
The Trojans welcome transfer players Darius Hester, who was previously at Thomas Nelson CC, and Nick Hargrove, a Georgia native who was at Olive-Hardy in Chicago last year.
Nine freshmen round out the 16-man roster, including seven from in state.
Forwards Jekael Gay and Donte Johnson are both graduates of Greene Central High School.
Three freshmen come from Raleigh-area schools: 6-foot-9 freshman Jawon Eddie (Wakefield High School), Brandon Kiaku (Middle Creek High School) and Collin Lewis (Millbrook High School).
Also from in state are guard George Jones Jr., who was named to the N.C. Basketball Coaches Association East All-star roster while at Pamlico County High School.
