CT's Justin Menard is on his third college team in three years. He found his ‘perfect fit'

Justin Menard of the Marist Red Foxes is set to become a starter at Colorado State this season, after transferring from his previous college programs. Menard, a native of Higganum, Connecticut, has spent the past two seasons playing in the MAAC and is now joining the newly-renovated Pac-12 Conference. Menard, a junior point guard, committed to the Rams out of the transfer portal this spring and has spent the summer in Fort Collins, Colorado.

Menard is excited about the prospect of competing at a higher level and becoming a leader on a team that is already retaining several of its top scorers. The Rams are coached by Ali Farokhmanesh, who has led the team to an NIT bid last season. Menard's move to Colorado State is the third college program he has been a part of in three years.
