According to a Belmont release, he made 14 late-game tying or winning shots and was a three-time All-Atlantic Sun selection, the 2008 CollegeInsider.com national mid-major most valuable player and a twotime CoSIDA Academic All-American. He received an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship. The induction dinner is set for Sept. 21 at 6 p.m. CDT in Belmont’s Curb Event Center, and admission costs $20.
