Jeff Foote, a two-time Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year and NABC All-District selection, helped lead Cornell to three conference titles and an appearance in the NCAA Sweet 16 in 2010. A three-time All-Ivy pick, he was a first-team selection as a senior after capturing a spot on the second team as a sophomore and junior. He was a five-time Ancient Eight player of the week. 

Over three varsity seasons, Foote averaged 11.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.8 blocked shots per game while shooting at a .573 clip. He is the school's career leader in field goal percentage and ranks third in blocked shots and 12th in rebounding. Foote posted 15 career double-doubles in school history 
 
As a senior captain, Foote led the conference in field goal percentage (.625) and rebounding (8.1) also ranked second in blocked shots (1.9). The 7-0 center averaged 12.3 points and 2.3 assists on the offensive end. He was named the tournament MVP at the MSG Holiday Festival and was invited to compete in the NABC All-America game at Final Four weekend. His junior year, Foote was a repeat selection on the All-Ivy second team and captured the first Defensive Player of the Year honor in conference history. The Ivy League's leading rebounder (7.2) and shot-blocker (2.1 bpg.), Foote was among the team leaders in scoring (third, 11.8 ppg.) and assists (fourth, 2.3 apg.). As a sophomore, he emerged quietly as a force to be reckoned with en route to second-team All-Ivy honors. Foote ended the campaign averaging 7.9 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.4 blocked shots per game while playing in 22 contests off the bench.
 
After his Cornell career came to a close, Foote played in Europe, the NBA G League and for the New Orleans Pelicans of the NBA. He earned his law degree from the University of Miami while serving as a graduate assistant coach for the Hurricanes' men's program and now resides in New York City.
