10/29/2024 12:01:00 PM | Men's Basketball
LAWRENCE, Kan. – Kansas senior guard Zeke Mayo has been named to the 20-member Jerry West Shooting Guard of the Year Watch List, the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame announced Tuesday.
Â
A local product from Lawrence, Kansas, Mayo had an outstanding career at South Dakota State before transferring to Kansas following the 2023-24 season. He was a two-time All-Summit League selection who was the league's player of the year in 2024. Mayo led the Summit League in three-point field goal percentage at 39.1% and three-point field goals made per game at 2.6 in 2023-24. He has started 87 of 102 games played while in college and enters the season with 1,576 points, 501 rebounds, 304 assists, 101 steals and 231 three-point field goals made for his career.
Â
The annual Jerry West Award, named after the late Class of 1980 Hall of Famer and 1959 NCAA Final Four Most Valuable Player, celebrates its 11th year by highlighting the top shooting guards in Division I men's college basketball.
Fans are encouraged to participate in Fan Voting in each of the three rounds starting on Friday, November 1. In late January, the watch list of 20 players for the 2025 Jerry West will be narrowed to 10, and then in late February, to just five. In March, the five finalists will be presented to Cousy, Lieberman, and the Hall of Fame's selection committees, where winners will be selected. The Selection Committees for the Jerry West Award are composed of top college basketball personnel, including media members, head coaches, sports information directors, and Hall of Famers.Â
Â
The winner of the 2025 Jerry West Award will be presented on a to-be-determined date, along with the other four members of the Men's Starting Five. Additional awards being presented include the Bob Cousy Award (Point Guard), Julius Erving Award (Small Forward), Karl Malone Award (Power Forward), and the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Award (Center).
