Marist transfer Justin Menard will join the Rams for the 2026-27 season. Menard announced his commitment on Instagram on April 21.

Menard averaged 12.9 points and 3.8 assists per game last season for Marist.

Menard was a Third Team All-MAAC selection who led the Red Foxes in scoring (12.9 points per game), assists (3.8 per game), steals (1.3 per game), total three-pointers made (57) and free throw percentage (.926). He was also named to the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference All-Championship Team after averaging 17.5 points per game, six assists and 3.5 steals per game in the conference tournament.

It's the second season in a row CSU has added a Marist transfer. Josh Pascarelli joined ahead of the 2024-25 season from Marist and has become a key 3-point shooter for the Rams.

Menard and Pascarelli didn't play together at Marist. Menard played his freshman season of college basketball (2024-25) at Iona, where he averaged 5.5 points per game.

Menard shot 36% from 3-point range last season. He will now join CSU's back court with the point guard position open to competition for the 2026-27 season.
