๐ค๐ Yes! We at @ValpoU are excited to announce that Bryce Drew โ98 will serve as commencement speaker for our 2026 ceremonies on May 16. An icon in the history of Valpo athletics, Drew stands as the most decorated basketball player in the Universityโs history, a successful coach, and Valpoโs first first-round NBA draft pick.
As a player, Drew led Valpoโs team to four Mid-Continent Conference regular season championships, four tournament titles and three trips to the NCAA Tournament. He was, at that time, the program leader in points (2,142), three-point field goals (364), and assists (626), and propelled himself into widespread athletic fame in 1998 when he hit โThe Shotโ in the first round of the NCAA Tournament to beat Ole Miss. That legendary moment gave Valpo its first NCAA Tournament win, and earned Drew an ESPY award. Off campus, he played for the gold-medal winning Team USA at the 1997 World University Games.
@BryceDrewCoach recently finished his seventh season as head men's basketball coach for Grand Canyon University, where he has made the Lopes into an NCAA tournament mainstay. To read more, please find the following link: https://t.co/mQOaRD3Axz
Thank you to all who helped to make this happen, and I look forward to welcoming Bryce Drew back to campus as we celebrate the Class of 2026!
As the momentum surrounding @ValpoBasketball continues to grow, the Beacons have officially inked Dylan Moles, who will join the program for his fourth season of college basketball in 2026-27! #GoValpo
