Career highlights and awards

Finn Sullivan is an American basketball player who recently completed his college career for the Vermont Catamounts of the America East Conference. He previously played for the San Diego Toreros.

Sullivan played for former NBA player John Olive at Torrey Pines High School in San Diego and committed to the University of San Diego as a part of new coach Sam Scholl's first recruiting class. [1] Sullivan played three seasons for the Toreros, the last a COVID-shortened 3–11 season. He averaged 6 points in 74 games for the Toreros.

Sullivan then transferred to Vermont where, after an initial adjustment to a new league and system, he provided reliable outside shooting to the defense-oriented Catamounts. [2] In taking advantage of an extra year of eligibility offered by the NCAA to athletes playing during the COVID pandemic, Sullivan returned to Vermont for a fifth season. He averaged a career-best 11.7 points per game, displaying a strong overall floor game (4.9 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game) and leading the Catamounts to America East regular-season and tournament championships. [3] At the close of his final year of eligibility, Sullivan was named first-team All-America East Conference and the America East Player of the Year. [4] [5]
