Stefan Vaaks gives Providence a long, smooth-scoring freshman guard with real playmaking juice
In the 2025-26 season, Stefan Vaaks emerged as a high-usage freshman guard for Providence, averaging 15.8 points, 3.2 assists, 2.5 rebounds, and 0.8 steals while shooting 35.0% from three and 83.9% at the line. He’s a 6-foot-7 creator who can score in bunches, handle pressure, and make enough reads to keep the offense moving, plus he already earned BIG EAST Freshman of the Week honors after a strong debut stretch. The appeal is clear: size, shot-making, and lead-guard potential with a competitive edge.
