Fendi Francois brings veteran backcourt toughness to UMass Boston
In the 2025-26 season, senior guard Fendi Francois is a depth-and-energy piece for UMass Boston, appearing in 7 games and averaging 2.9 points while shooting 33.3% from the field and 100% at the line[3][4]. The bigger story is his profile: a compact 5'10" guard from Somerville who has stayed in the program, gives the Beacons backcourt experience, and has flashed a grinder’s edge, including a 14-point outburst in 2024 that showed he can score in bursts when his shot is rolling[1][5]. He looks like a useful fit for teams that value mature guard play, effort, and steadiness over pure volume production[1][3].
