  • Matt MacDonald to FDU

    Share Zagsblog Share Zagsblog
    Matt MacDonald, a 6-foot-5, 185-pound wing from Buffalo Canisius High, verbally pledged to Fairleigh Dickinson on Friday.

    “I chose FDU because of a terrific coaching staff,” MacDonald told SNY.tv. “It is a great school in a great league, and I felt it was the best fit for me as a player. Coach [Greg] Herenda will make me a better player.”

    MacDonald was initially headed to prep school at St. Thomas More (Conn.). He had interest from Navy, Binghamton, NJIT and Brown, but FDU was his only Division 1 offer.

    “I was planning on going to St Thomas More but once I visited FDU, it was too good of an offer/ opportunity to pass up,” he said.

    According to the Buffalo News, MacDonald was a third-team All-Western New York selection this past season. He averaged 15.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and two assists to help the Crusaders win their third straight Manhattan Cup.

    MacDonald is the son of Mike MacDonald, the head coach at Division 3 Medaille College in Buffalo.

    He is FDU’s fifth commit for next season.
