RIVERDALE, N.Y. – Rising sophomore Raziel Hayun has been named to the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Student-Athlete Engagement Group.
 
Hayun said, "I'm excited to be a part of the engagement group for Division I men's basketball. I look forward to contributing to this committee and to being able to represent athletes' voices from around the country and Manhattan College."
 
The group will amplify the voice of men's basketball on critical initiatives, legislation, and various issues. Former women's basketball student-athlete Emily LaPointe served on the women's basketball engagement group during her time as a Jasper.
 
Hayun will be joining a team of representatives, one from each Division I conference, to share his perspective on key initiatives, policies, and legislation that impact the sport of men's basketball.
 
The engagement group will regularly meet virtually to provide broad-based feedback on issues the MBOC is reviewing.
 
Hayun made 10 starts in his first season in Riverdale. The Israel native scored a season-best 16 points against Bryant and added 13 at Providence.
