The Pack's backcourt just got a major boost with the addition of transfer point guard Preston Edmead from Hofstra. Coach Gainey has secured a dynamic playmaker who brings proven scoring talent and championship pedigree to the roster.

Edmead arrives with impressive credentials after a standout freshman season where he was named CAA Rookie of the Year, a Second Team All-CAA selection, and the CAA Championship Most Outstanding Player. His aggressive, quick style of play has drawn favorable comparisons to established talents like UT's Ja'Kobi Gillespie, signaling his high potential at this level.

The stats underscore his immediate impact: Edmead scored 26 points in a game, reached double figures in 29 contests, and eclipsed the 20-point mark ten times. He saved his best for the brightest stage, dropping 24 points with 4 rebounds and 4 assists against Alabama in the NCAA Tournament, where he also showcased his deep range by hitting six three-pointers.

A 4-star transfer ranked 156th nationally out of Easthampton, MA, Edmead also brings a family legacy to the game, following in the footsteps of his brother Aaren, who played at NC A&T. This combination of proven production, clutch postseason performance, and athletic pedigree makes Preston Edmead an exciting new piece for The Pack's future.
