Clarke gives Kean a steady spark with efficient scoring and playmaking
Deaundre Clarke has been a useful 2025-26 freshman guard for Kean, averaging 5.6 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 17.8 minutes while shooting 50.0% from the field across 16 games, with several recent double-digit outings showing he can punch above his box score when the offense needs a lift.[1][5][6] The appeal is his poised, efficient guard play: he’s scored 12, 13 and 15 points in conference games, and Kean’s own notes show he has already earned two starts and meaningful bench production, which points to a player who competes hard and can fit a rotation that values reliability over flash.[5][10][11][14]
