BRIDGEWATER, N.J. - David Jevtic is closing out 2025 with his second NEC Rookie of the Week award. After earning the honors for the first week of the season, he capped off non-conference play with another strong performance. 

From the NEC 
 
NEC MEN'S BASKETBALL PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Shilo Jackson, Le Moyne
Forward, Graduate Student, 6-9, 225 lbs., Indianapolis, IN/North Central (Texas A&M-Corpus Christi)
Last Week's Stats: 19.0 ppg, 15.0 rpg, 3.0 apg, 52.9 FG%
One of the nation's top double-double producers added another one to his count, and he did so in impressive fashion this past week. At ACC member Boston College on Sunday, Jackson dropped a team-high 19 points on 9-of-17 shooting from the field while tacking on a game- and season-high 15 boards. In addition, Jackson enjoyed a solid all-around outing after contributing three assists, one steal and a block to the hard-fought, eight-point defeat inside Conte Forum. The Hoosier State's performance was one of the NEC's most impressive against a team from a Power 4 conference, as he is the first player since at least 1997-98 to finish with at least 19 points and 15 rebounds. Turning the double-double trick seven times this season — including a stretch of four-straight games that he turned the trick in — Jackson ranks 10th in the nation in the category. The league's leading rebounder (8.9 rpg) concludes non-conference play as the only player in the circuit to rank inside the top-10 in boards, points (14.9 ppg – t-6th ) and blocks (2.2 – t-1st). This is Jackson's first NEC Player of the Week award this season and the first for a Le Moyne baller in 2025-26.

NEC MEN'S BASKETBALL ROOKIE OF THE WEEK
David Jevtic, FDU
Guard, Freshman, 6-8, 197 lbs., Belgrade, Serbia/KK Kolubara Lazarevac 2003
Last Week's Stats: 9.0 ppg, 2.0 rpg, 42.9 FG%, 33.3 3FG%, 18.0 mpg
Jevtic, who was previously named the NEC Rookie of the Week following an opening-week effort that saw him average 14.0 points and 4.5 rebounds for FDU, doubled his season weekly award count to two on Tuesday. The first-year guard from Serbia knocked down 3-of-7 shots from the field — including his 10th triple of the season — in 18 minutes off the bench to finish one point shy of his fourth double-figure scoring game of his career in the Knights' final non-conference game at Big 10 member Minnesota. Jevtic is averaging 7.0 points per game in his FDU debut, a mark that seventh among fellow Knights.
