Summary

Biography

Graduate student guard Noah Fernandes joined the Scarlet Knights for the 2023-24 season following a transfer from UMass.  Fernandes has one final season of eligibility remaining.

"We are thrilled to welcome Noah Fernandes to The Knighthood," head coach Steve Pikiell said. "Noah brings a wealth of experience, excitement, an ability to really shoot the basketball and a great understanding of the game. He’s going to add a whole new dimension to our backcourt. He can really defend too."

Fernandes provides Rutgers with a downhill, scoring threat at the point guard position. Fernandes has shown the ability to create his own shot, make plays for others as a distributor and shoot the ball from deep range. The Mass. native can knock down shots from beyond the perimeter at an elite level.
