Deacon Judd: Setting the standard for Oswego men’s basketball

After making an immediate impact in his first two seasons, Oswego State men’s basketball junior forward Deacon Judd is looking to lead the Lakers back to the SUNYAC championship. When Deacon Judd first arrived in the port city, he was surrounded by experienced players who helped show him what it takes to compete at the collegiate level. Now entering his junior season, the Utica native is looking to return that same guidance to a younger group of Lakers. Judd has already made his mark in the green and gold, as he became the first player in SUNYAC history to earn both SUNYAC Rookie of the Year and Player of the Year honors in the same season during the 2024-25 campaign. He followed that performance with another strong showing in 2025-26, averaging 18.1 points and 9.0 rebounds per game while earning his second consecutive First Team All-SUNYAC selection.
