Platek joins Team Dunkin’s expanded roster of 31 student-athletes nationwide
ALBANY, N.Y. – Dunkin’ today announced a special treat for home-team fans of Siena College basketball player Andrew Platek. Platek has joined Team Dunkin’, the brand’s recruiting class of 31 exceptional student-athletes from colleges and universities nationwide, and Dunkin’ is celebrating by sharing his go-to order at local restaurants.
Team Dunkin’ athletes will be honored by having their favorite Dunkin’ drink featured at participating Dunkin’ locations in their college town. Platek’s go-to Dunkin’ order? That’ll be a small hot chocolate.
Platek is a Guilderland, N.Y., native who transferred to Siena in 2021 after playing basketball for the University of North Carolina. Platek leads the team with 35 three-pointers this season and is averaging 10.3 points per game.
As part of Dunkin’s collegiate name, image and likeness (NIL) partnerships, Platek and his fellow student-athletes, representing 13 teams from colleges and universities all over the country, will be sharing their experiences across social media and enjoying exclusive Team Dunkin’ merch to sport on and off the field.
Team Dunkin’s class of 2023 also includes upstate New York college sports stars Julianna Beaulieu of the Utica University Women’s Soccer Team; Joseph Girard III of the Syracuse University Men’s Basketball Team; and Anna Sprys of the Binghamton University Women’s Volleyball Team.
The newest Team Dunkin’ class has grown from the first two student-athletes announced in February 2022 to a roster of 31 student-athletes and counting, along with the entire women’s Northwestern University field hockey team.
These powerhouse athletes, like so many college students, run on Dunkin’, and Dunkin’ is here to energize a growing roster of students through wins, losses and the daily grind of being a college athlete. Follow Platek’s journey as a Team Dunkin’ athlete on Instagram at @platekfor3.
