Ubel begins his first year as the director of scouting after serving as a graduate manager the last two seasons at Utah State under Craig Smith. Smith and Ubel’s relationship goes back to his days as a Husker when Smith was an assistant coach at Nebraska under head coach Tim Miles.
A four-year (2010-13) standout for the Huskers, Ubel averaged 7.1 points and 4.4 rebounds with 109 career assists to go with 47 blocks and 49 steals. The Overland Park, Kan., product was part of the transition for UNL, playing his first two season in the Big 12 and finished his final two seasons in the Big Ten. The 6-10 forward averaged 16 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists in his final Big Ten Tournament run, leading Nebraska to the tournament quarterfinals for the first time since the 2009-10 season.
He wrapped up his collegiate career in 2013 seventh in games played (125) at Nebraska while also ranking seventh in the Big Ten his senior year in rebounds per game (6.7) and free throw percentage (.802). In addition, he was 20th in the Big Ten that year in scoring (11.5ppg). Ubel was an academic star as well, racking up two Academic All-Big Ten honors (2012-13), an Academic First-Team All-Big 12 (2011) selection and a Big 12 Commissioner’s Fall Honor Roll (2009) award.
After college, Ubel spent most of his professional career in Belgium, playing for Brussels from 2013-14, the Antwerp Giants from 2014-15 and then returned to Brussels from 2015-17. During his time in Belgium, Ubel earned a pair of all-league honors. He wrapped up his professional career with Boulazac Basket Dordogne, a team in Boulazac, France, helping the squad to a runner-up finish in the French Cup during the 2017-18 season.
Ubel earned his bachelor's in broadcast production at Nebraska in 2013 and will graduate with a master's of sport and physical education this summer from Utah State.
