Jay Young has announced the addition of Brycen Goodine to Fairfield University Men's Basketball. Goodine joins the Stags after playing the last two seasons in the Big East at Providence College.
"We're thrilled to add Brycen Goodine to our program," said Young. "He's a player I've known for a long time through his time in high school and college in the Northeast. Brycen will bring tremendous athleticism and scoring punch to our perimeter. We always look to bring in players who can make an impact on both ends of the floor, and we believe Brycen can do that. We look forward to welcoming Brycen and his family to Fairfield University!"
