Briggs McClain is one of three true freshmen on the Hartford men's basketball team's roster for the 2020-21 season, joining classmates AJ Gray and Thomas Webley. A native of Martinsburg, W. Va., he is coming off a successful three-year stint at St. Maria Goretti Catholic High School, where he averaged 18.0 points, 5.0 assists and 6.0 rebounds per game as a senior.
McClain has appeared in all but one of the Hawks' five games so far this season, tallying two steals in four minutes of action. Jeff Dooley, the voice of the Hartford Hawks, had a chance to catch up with the Hawks' rookie guard in the interview below.
