BOSTON, MA – The Mid-Season Watch List for the 2021-22 Lou Henson National Player of the Year award was recently announced on Wednesday, January 12.
Jamaree Bouyea, a graduate student in his fifth year for the Dons, was named to the prestigious list.
The award, which is presented annually to the top mid-major player in division I college basketball, honors the former Illinois and New Mexico State head coach who won 775 games in 41 seasons.

Returning for a fifth year for the Dons, Bouyea has proven to be one of the elite backcourt talents in the country this season as the Seaside native currently ranks first in the West Coast Conference in total points (332), made field goals (121) and total minutes (631) while also sitting third in points per game (17.9), total steals (29), made three-pointers (43) and minutes per game (35.1).
