FIU’s steady, low-usage senior guard with real bench value
In the 2025-26 season, Renato Ruiz has been a deep-rotation FIU guard whose value is more about reliability, pace, and knowing his role than piling up volume stats. He played in six games in 2024-25 and reached a career-high seven points in 10 minutes against Florida, showing he can pop when the bench minutes come his way. The fit question is simple: if you need a mature, team-first guard who won’t force shots and can hold the floor without drama, he’s your guy; if you need a high-usage creator, this is not that flavor.
