OSWEGO, NY – Congratulations to
Jeremiah Sparks on being named to the 2023-24 Trevor Hudgins Award Top 15 watch list by the Small College Basketball and National Awards Committee.
The Trevor Hudgins Award will be presented annually to the senior who has had the finest overall four-year (or 5-year) career within Small College Basketball. Considerations for the Trevor Hudgins Award are overall career statistics and achievements, team achievements, awards, and personal character. The player must have played his entire career at the small college level. This is the highest award given to a four-year (or five-year) player in Small College Basketball. On March 1st, the list will be reduced to 15 players. The video of the finalists will be released on Friday, April 5, and the award winner will be announced through a video presentation on Monday, April 8, at halftime of the NCAA Division I National Championship Game.
This season Jeremiah has helped lead the Lakers to a 25-2 overall record and a #9 national ranking. In the 2023-24 season, Jeremiah is averaging 19 points per game, 3.3 assists, and 6.1 rebounds while shooting .455% from the field. He is the scoring leader in the SUNYAC conference, he was named first team all-conference, and was named SUNYAC Player of the Year.
"Jeremiah has earned every bit of recognition that he has received to this point in his senior year. Nobody has put more time into improvement than Jeremiah has. The thing that separates Jeremiah from so many others is that his success has never been at the expense of team concepts or achievements. His fingerprints can be seen within every aspect of our program. Tangibly and from the outside, his offensive numbers are most visible. But the commitment he has as a defender and a leader should not go unnoticed. Nobody impacts winning more than
Jeremiah Sparks. It is only fitting that he is on the Top 25 Watch List for the inaugural Trevor Hudgins Award." Head Men's Basketball Coach,
Jason Leone
