Prior to UNH, the Penacook, New Hampshire native starred at Merrimack Valley High School.[3] He scored over 2,000 career points before enrolling at UMass as a freshman in 1991–92.[1] After playing for the Minutemen for just one season, Drapeau then transferred to Southern New Hampshire University (then called New Hampshire College) and also played one season there.[4] Drapeau ended up at UNH in 1993–94. The 6'8" power forward is credited with being the cornerstone of the two most successful seasons in UNH men's basketball history.[3][4] They secured a school-record 19 wins in 1994–95 and went 34–22 between 1993–94 and 1994–95.[3]
