A new week means another Samford basketball transfer portal addition as former Coastal Carolina F Braeden MacVicar announces his commitment to Samford. Lennie Acuff gets MacVicar on campus this past weekend and closes the deal.
MacVicar comes to Homewood with two seasons left to play.
The six-foot, 11-inches, 235-pound big man averaged 4.4 points per game along with 3.1 rebounds per game over his two seasons at Coastal Carolina. He is a career 33% three-point shooter as 72% of his shots have been behind the three-point arc. MacVicar averaged 13.8 minutes per game in those two seasons.
MacVicar missed the entire 2024-2025 season but returned to the Chanticleers last season following the hiring of former Western Carolina head coach Justin Gray.
He had a productive freshmen season averaging over six points per game and four rebounds per game starting 16 of 26 games played. He averaged 19.8 minutes per game in that freshman season shooting 34% from three.
This past season off of injury, He averaged 2.8 points per game along with two rebounds per game in 7.2 minutes per game.

First two healthy seasons for Braeden MacVicar
Lipscomb C Charlie Williamsâs first two seasons.
Samford adds a versatile piece to their frontcourt as they look to replace the production of Dylan Faulkner who has signed with Clemson. MacVicarâs freshmen season production is very close to Faulknerâs production in his freshman season. He will be tasked with replacing Faulkner in the Samford lineup.
Lennie Acuff now has one more roster spot to fill for next season.
