May 13, 2024 | Men's Basketball
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Oregon State head coach Wayne Tinkle and his staff announced Monday the addition of Johan Munch, who will join the team for the upcoming season.

Munch will join the Beavers as a freshman. He competed for Denmark at the 2023 U18 FIBA Euros, averaging 15 points and 7.7 rebounds per game, while shooting 53.2 percent from the floor and 47.8 percent from 3-point range. Munch scored 20 points or more three times in the tournament, including a 24-point showing against Italy and a 17-point, 15-rebound outing against Poland.
"We're extremely excited about adding Johan to our program," Tinkle said. "He's a skilled big at 6'll with the ability to dribble, pass, and shoot. His length and athleticism will make him a real threat on both ends of the court who is versatile at multiple positions. Once his body fully matures, we will see his true potential. Johan is from a great family that we're thrilled to have joining ours."
Munch, who played point guard prior to a remarkable growth-spurt, competed for Orangeville Academy in 2023-24. He shot 45 percent in Nike EYBL this winter, and has a 14-point, eight-rebound game against Arizona Compass.
"I chose OSU because I think it's a great fit for me as a player, but more importantly as a person," Munch said. "I think the play style and coaching staff can benefit my development massively. It also feels like a place that really cares and only wants the best for you, but they'll hold you accountable and shortcuts won't be overlooked - I think that's important in player and personal development. As soon as I left from my visit I just knew that it was the only right option for me."
