Elite Prep Scorer Turned Columbia Junior Guard with Untapped Potential
Dan Vessey, a 6-3 junior guard for Columbia Lions from NJ prep powerhouse Hun School, dominated high school with 17 ppg (up from 13.5), 4 rpg, 40% 3PT, and NJ Prep Player of the Year honors in 2021, plus a 38-pt AAU career high—showcasing explosive scoring and leadership as two-time captain.[1][5][6] After Rutgers in 2023-24 and no action in 2024-25, his academic excellence (Dean's List, 1230 SAT) and relentless work ethic make him a high-upside transfer ready to ignite Ivy play; perfect fit for teams needing a gritty, intelligent shooter with pro-level prep pedigree.[1][2][5]
