Like 25-foot three-pointers, the accolades keep raining for College senior Jaquan Adams. This season alone, the 6’3” small forward has tallied ten double-doubles, three SLIAC Player of the Week commendations, one school-record performance, and a national D-III Player of the Week designation.

In January, Adams led the Panthers to an upset over Greenville, with his first career triple-double: 10 assists, 17 rebounds, and a school record-tying 49 points—one of the best statistical performances and the fourth highest points per game total in NCAA D-III this season. At the close of the regular season, Adams was named the 2023-24 SLIAC Men’s Basketball Player of the Year, and he is the first two-time First Team All-SLIAC men’s basketball player in Principia College history.

Adams, who is also a member of the Army National Guard, responded with characteristic humility. "The feeling has been great to be nationally recognized for something I pray for every day,” he told a reporter. "I love this campus, I love the school, and I love my team and my teammates."
