Colton Hunt, Randolph College, Sr., Guard

2013 Jostens Trophy Winner

Hunt becomes the second male from the Old Dominion Athletic Conference to win the Jostens Trophy, joining Emory & Henry College's Justin Call who earned the honor back in 2004. Hunt is the third overall ODAC player to win the Jostens, as Randolph-Macon College's Megan Silva received the honor in 2006.

Hunt finished his senior campaign averaging team-highs of 24.2 points and 7.3 rebounds per game. His scoring output is third in the country as of Monday, March 11, and he also ranks in the top 15 nationally in steals per game after leading the ODAC in both points and steals this season. For his efforts, Hunt garnered the ODAC Kurt Axe Memorial Player of the Year award. Hunt was named the D3hoops.com South Region Player of the Year on Monday afternoon, and also picked up D3hoops.com All-South Region First Team accolades.

Hunt is a three-time All-ODAC First Team honoree on the basketball court, and holds the Randolph College record for points in a career with 1,878. He was named an ODAC Player of the Week four times, as well as a D3hoops.com National Team of the Week honoree twice. Hunt became the first-ever player in the ODAC to score over 1,800 points, grab 600 rebounds, dish out 200 assists and snatch 200 steals.

The guard is not only a standout on the court but in the classroom as well. Earlier this season, Hunt was named as the 2013 Capital One Academic All-American of the Year for NCAA Division III men's basketball (as selected by CoSIDA), as he posted a 3.94 GPA in economics with minors in physics and finance. Hunt was named the ODAC/Farm Bureau Insurance Scholar-Athlete of the Year for the third consecutive season this year.

He is a member of three Honor Societies at Randolph College, including the Omicron Delta Epsilon Economics Honor Society, Sigma Pi Sigma Physics Honor Society, and Chi Alpha Sigma Athletic Honor Society. He has been a Dean's List honoree all seven semesters at Randolph.

Colton also shined in the community, as he served as a peer tutor in economics, business, math and calculus as well as physics at Randolph. He has volunteered at basketball camps in his hometown of Whittier, N.C., and also read to local elementary students and contributed to Randolph's Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC).
