FAIRFIELD, Conn. – Head Coach
Chris Casey has announced three signings to the Fairfield University Men's Basketball Class of 2029. Nasir Rodriguez, Tony "Butta" Williams and Declan Wucherpfennig will join the Stags beginning in the fall of 2025.
"We're happy to welcome three outstanding young men and their families into our Fairfield Basketball family," said Casey. "They will contribute to the high level of competition in our gym and bring great personalities to our locker room and our team culture. We're looking forward to following their final high school seasons and then getting them on campus over the summer and into the fall."
Nasir Rodriguez is a 6'4" guard from Long Island City, N.Y. He completed a standout scholastic career at Monsignor Scanlan in the Bronx and is currently in the midst of a post-graduate year at Northfield Mount Hermon. Rodriguez was an All-State and All-City performer and a 1,000-point scorer at Monsignor Scanlan and was a standout for the NY Rens at this past summer's Peach Jam, where he averaged 10.8 points per game at the prestigious AAU tournament.
Tony "Butta" Williams runs the point for one of the top prep programs in the country at Putnam Science Academy, where he is one of the top-rated prospects in Connecticut entering his final scholastic campaign. He competed on the national stage at PSA and also starred on the MADE Hoops Circuit with the New Haven Heat. Williams previously averaged 23 points per game at Norwich Free Academy before joining the Mustangs.
Teaneck, New Jersey's Declan Wucherpfennig was an All-Bergen County and All-Big North player on the wing at Bergen Catholic as a junior. The versatile 6'7" Wucherpfennig was the leading scorer and rebounder for the Crusaders, leading his squad to a 22-8 record and a top-10 ranking in New Jersey. He was also a standout performer for Team Rio on the Under Armour circuit this summer, averaging 13.5 points and seven rebounds per game.
Fairfield Men's Basketball is 2-2 on the 2024-25 campaign, their second with Casey at the helm. The Stags are back in action at Leo D. Mahoney Arena tonight – Tuesday, Nov. 19 – against Drexel.
