Camels add Ben Ritger

BUIES CREEK - Ben Ritger, a 6'7" forward, has joined the Fighting Camels after three seasons at Lee University.

"Ben is going to be great here at Campbell," head coach Jimmie Williams said. "There's no secret that we love toughness, unselfishness, and three-point shooting, especially when someone can do all three at 6'7. I've known Ben for a long time, as I recruited him out of high school, and have gotten to know him and his family well. As a player, he reminds me a lot of a guy we coached a few years back that played in our system and had a ton of success. We love his versatility. He can really shoot the ball, and will present a lot of matchup problems for teams we'll play. Excited to get him here next month to get started."

Ritger averaged 10.6 ppg and 3.6 rpg in 27 games for the Flames last season. He shot 46% from the floor and 41% from beyond the arc, going 41-99 from distance.

The Atlanta native scored in double figures 14 times, with a season-high 33 points against Union (TN), one of three games with 20+ points.

Ritger, a redshirt sophomore, played two seasons for Lee after a redshirt season in 2023-24. His first season of action in 2024-25 saw him average 3.2 ppg across 19 games.
