Vaughn, a 6-foot-5 guard from New York, earned unanimous first-team All-MAAC honors last season after averaging 14.8 points and 6.6 rebounds. He also shot 39.3% from 3-point range. He finished the season on a tear, averaging 18.8 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.8 steals in his final four games for the Broncs.
Vaughn is expected to graduate this spring and will be eligible immediately to start next season. He missed most of his freshman season at Rider with a season-ending injury.
