Yale’s 3-and-D glue guy with winning-game poise
In the 2015-16 season, Nick Victor was Yale’s versatile senior guard who brought defense, rebounding, and big-moment steadiness, finishing his Yale career with 428 points, 411 rebounds, and 82 blocks, eighth in program history. He also averaged 6.7 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 2.4 assists in Yale’s 2015-16 roster data, a nice little reminder that he did a bit of everything without needing the ball to dominate. The best part: reports describe him as an intangible leader who returned from an injury-hit junior year and still played a crucial role in Yale’s historic NCAA run—exactly the kind of rugged, team-first guard coaches love.
