Randy Foye (born September 24, 1983 in Newark, New Jersey) is a current college basketball player for Villanova University and is in his senior season, likely to enter the 2006 NBA Draft. He is predicted to be a first round pick.

Foye attended East Side High School, where he was selected as New Jersey Player of the Year, before being recruited by Jay Wright and Villanova along with a highly praised class of four players that are seniors now. Foye, along with Allan Ray, Jason Fraser, and Curtis Sumpter were proclaimed as the players to lead the Wildcats back to a championship. Injuries have burdened both Fraser and Sumpter, and while Fraser plays part-time now, Sumpter has red-shirted with a knee injury and will play in the 2006-07 season. However, currently Foye and Ray are attempting to lead Villanova through the 2006 NCAA Tournament along with the other three starters in the four-guard offense; Mike Nardi, Kyle Lowry, and Will Sheridan.

Foye's career has been a extremely productive and eventful at Villanova, but his senior season has been by far the best.

At 6-4 and 205 pounds, Foye is an averaged sized guard. However, he is also notable for being a unique kind of player, as he is one of the few college players who shoots just as well when being defended heavily, as when he is wide open. Analysts have also proclaimed him one of the best in the game at creating his own shot, and creating for others.

In the 2005 NCAA Tournament, Foye averaged 20 points in three games, before a heartbreaking loss to 1 seed and eventual national champion North Carolina in which Foye scored 28 points. Villanova lost 67-66, the closest any team ever got to North Carolina in the tournament. He was named third-team all Big East that year

In 2006, Foye's career took off and he won the honor of Big East Player of the Year, beating out teammate Allan Ray, Connecticut star Rudy Gay and the league's leading scorer Quincy Douby of Rutgers.

Villanova tied for the Big East regular season championship with Uconn and split their two games with the Huskies, winning the one played at home, in what some called the biggest Villanova win in over 20 years. Their final Big East regular season record was 14-2 in what some called the toughest conference ever. Overall, their record was 27-4. In the NCAA Tournament in 2006, Foye has continued to be Villanova's biggest scoring threat, along with Ray. He had 24 points in their second round game against Arizona as they got the win 82-78. Villanova's last game in the 2006 NCAA tournament will be Foye's last as a Wildcat.
