He finished the season on a tear, averaging 18.8 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.8 steals in his final four games for Rider.
He chose Ole Miss over UConn and Georgia.

As junior during the 2018-19 season, Vaughn averaged 10.6 points and 5.2 rebounds per game.
He missed most of his freshman season at Rider with a season-ending injury.
Vaughn is expected to graduate this spring and will be eligible immediately to start next season.
