McManus (Cumberland, R.I.) graduated with a bachelor's degree in business administration in 2006, after starring for the Nor'easters over four seasons of basketball. He averaged double digits in scoring all four years, and led the squad in three, to finish his career with 1,506 total points -- a mark that stood as 8th-best in program records at the time, and has only been surpassed once since. The team captain as a senior also averaged 14.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 2.0 assists across 103 contests. In addition to still being in the top 10 of program ranks for total steals (149) and free throw percentage (.803), McManus had the most production from behind the three-point arc, draining 283 attempts (3rd) at a clip of 2.7/game (4th) and with 42 percent efficiency (2nd). McManus is one of just five multiple-time All-CCC honorees within the program, and still holds UNE's leading postseason performance during CCC tournament action, netting a game-high 24 points on 10 made field goals as the Nor'easters knocked off South Division top seed, Curry College, in the 2004 quarterfinals. His personal-best of 30 points came as a senior, behind seven treys.

McManus also played two seasons with the men's golf team.
