Robert Manix

Year: Sophomore 

Hometown: Jackman, ME

Major: Art

 

High School Highlights: 

  • Maine McDonalds All Star Team at Forrest Hills Consolidated School
  • 2nd Person to receive that honor at Forrest Hills Consolidated School

 

Robert Manix has jumped into the UMA Moose team quite nicely. The sophomore forward has helped the men’s team with crucial production off the bench. In a recent nail biter against the University of Maine at Machias, Robert strung together eight points in six first-half to help give the Moose the lead.

Continued production off the bench is going to be needed down the stretch in the second half of the season. Look for Robert and the rest of the Moose to continue improving throughout the remainder of the season!

 

What Robert likes about UMA: I like the affordability most at UMA.  

 

Interesting Fact about Robert: Rob is a self-proclaimed comic book nerd. He also loves to spend his time drawing pictures. 

 

Who is your mentor and why? Anthony Amero, my high school basketball coach. He helped me get through high school and he was like an older brother who was always there for me.

 

Favorite Class at UMA: Robert is most looking forward to 3-D design in his first year at UMA.
