Auburn

Muschalek committed to Auburn in May 2023.[2] He joined the team as a walk-on.[3] As one of six players on the practice team in the 2024–25 season, Muschalek participated in the post-game celebrations when Auburn advanced to the Final Four. Muschalek said, "it's been an incredible experience for me."[4] He was placed on scholarship by Bruce Pearl following the game.[5]

At the beginning of the 2025–26 season, Muschalek was praised by Steven Pearl, who said that he could receive more minutes in future matches.[6] He scored a career-high five points against Arkansas.[7] The game was just his second career match where he played for over ten minutes.[8]
