FT. MYERS, Fla. — Michigan Tech men’s basketball senior guard Marcus Tomashek has been selected to the Trevor Hudgins Award Top 25 Watch List announced Sunday.

Earlier this month, Tomashek was named to the Top 100 Watch List for the Bevo Francis Award, awarded annually to the best Small College Basketball player for a single season.

“Congratulations to the 25 players that have made the Trevor Hudgins Award Watch List, as this is an elite list of players in their final year of eligibility that have played their entire careers at the small college level — and they have excelled, and helped to lead their respective teams to great success,” said John McCarthy from Small College Basketball. “Thank you to our SCB National Awards Committee for providing excellent information and insight, and thank you to all of those coaches, SID’s and others that have submitted nominations.”

First awarded following the 2023-24 season, the Trevor Hudgins Award is presented annually to the senior who has had the finest overall career within Small College Basketball. Considerations will be overall career statistics and achievements, team achievements, awards, and personal character. The player must have played their entire career at the small college level.

Tomashek, a native of Green Bay, Wisconsin, is the Division II active career leader in points (2,164), three-point field goals made (294), three-point attempts (803), with the second-best scoring average (19.7).

For the season, Tomashek is averaging a team-high 21.8 points and 3.0 assists per game. His 436 points this season rank first in the GLIAC and 10th in the country.

Tomashek became the fifth player to surpass 2,000 points earlier this season, with his 2,164 career points ranking third all-time in program history.

The 2025-26 season marks the third time that the Trevor Hudgins Award will be awarded. In 2023-24, KJ Jones of Emannuel College was named the inaugural winner. Kaleb Lowery of The Master’s received the award in 2025. On March 1, the list will be reduced to 15 players. The video of the finalists will be released on April 4 and the award winner will be announced through a video presentation on April 6 at halftime of the NCAA Division I National Championship Game.

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 within Small College Basketball. The overall intent of the Trevor Hudgins Award is two-fold: 1) To keep the collegiate legacy of Trevor Hudgins alive and continue to tell his story to the next generation, and 2) To provide a national platform to honor outstanding players – and ultimately one player – within small college basketball on an annual basis. The Trevor Hudgins Award is sponsored by Northwest Missouri State University.

The Small College Basketball National Awards Committee consists of the following coaches: Gary Stewart – Stevenson (Md.), Chris Briggs – Georgetown (Ky.), Mike Donnelly – Florida Southern, Richard Westerlund – Great Lakes Christian, Mark Vanderslice – USC – Aiken, Matt O’Brien – Southwestern (KS), Chris Wright – Langston (OK), Justin Leslie – Midwestern State, Raul Placeres – Maryville College (TN), Chris Martin – Loras (IA), John Lamanna – Whitman (WA), Brian Miller – MSOE, Justin Downer – Point Loma Nazarene, Matt Capell – STAC, Scott Moore – Grace, Keven Bradley – Hillsdale, Mark Rutledge – Southern Arkansas, Chase Tiechmann – Georgia Gwinnett, Mick Hedgepeth – Alabama Huntsville.
