Villanova Univeristy Athletics

Randy Foye, a legendary Villanova basketball player in the early 2000s, serves as a special assistant to the Vice President and Director of Athletics.

In this role he will be an advisor to Villanova Athletics in the NIL space, partnering with the department on revenue generation strategies, new corporate partnerships and student-athlete NIL initiatives.

Prior to being hired directly on Villanova's staff, Foye served as the President of Friends of Nova, then VU's NIL maximization partner.

Foye graduated from Villanova University with a degree in geography while playing basketball for the Wildcats from 2002-06. In his senior year, he helped carry the Wildcats to their best record in a decade with the program's first BIG EAST regular season title since ‘97. After leading the 'Cats to the first NCAA #1 seed in program history, he was named BIG EAST Player of the Year and a consensus All-American.

Randy was selected seventh overall in the 2006 NBA draft and went on to enjoy an 11-year career in the National Basketball Association.

Randy has seen firsthand the difficulties for kids growing up in a tough, urban environment, prompting him to establish the Randy Foye Foundation which develops programs and projects aimed directly at improving the lives of children in his home town of Newark, N.J. Foye understands the difference a positive role model and nurturing environment can make in a young person’s life.

Randy is a devoted husband, loving father and sports enthusiast passionate about both Villanova and helping student-athletes become the best version of themselves.
