Tucson guard Sam Beskind has decided to finish his college basketball career at the Division II Colorado School of Mines.
A 2018 Catalina Foothills High School graduate, Beskind walked on at Stanford and turned into a scholarship role player during his four-year career with the Cardinal.
Known for providing energy and defense, Beskind played spot minutes in 29 games with four starts last season while also becoming the 2022 Pac-12 Scholar-Athlete of the Year. Beskind already earned a Stanford degree in management science and engineering, while he's on track to pick up a masters in June before transferring.
At Mines, Beskind said he is planning to pursue a masters in humanitarian engineering and possibly a double masters in advanced energy systems.
