The fourth-leading scorer on the America East champion Retrievers, Diggs averaged 10.0 points per game.Â
"Caden is a great addition to our program," said Howard. "He's the total package as a student-athlete. He cares deeply about his education and works just as hard on his game. Caden has great positional size for a wing, and his versatility brings a ton of value to our team. He has made improvements each season, and we are confident he will take another jump in his development this coming season and have a big impact on our program."Â
The 6-foot-8 forward finished with 15 points, eight rebounds, and two steals in UMBC's loss to Howard in the NCAA First Four. Diggs scored in double figures 19 times during his sophomore season and recorded his first career double-double against Wagner.Â

Diggs joins transfers Robert Davis Jr. and Jacoi Hutchinson, incoming freshmen Willie Piggott Jr., Romain Valakou, and Tucker Wadsworth, and returners Kerrington Kiel, Evan Griffin, Emmanuel Clarton, and Hikaru Awata on Troy's 2026-27 roster.Â
