Ft. Myers, Fla. – Michigan Tech men's basketball senior guard Marcus Tomashek has been selected to the Trevor Hudgins Award Top 15 Watch List announced Sunday.  

Tomashek has also been named to the Top 50 Watch List for the Bevo Francis Award, awarded annually to the best Small College Basketball player for a single season.

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.

"Congratulations to the 15 players on the Trevor Hudgins Award Watch List," stated McCarthy. "Each of them have had tremendous collegiate careers and helped lead their respective teams to a great level of success. This is a very elite group of seniors, and they should be recognized and celebrated. Thank you to the Small College Basketball National Awards Committee for their insight and information in this selection process, which is incredibly difficult."

Tomashek, a native of Green Bay, Wisconsin, is the Division II active career leader in points (2,233), three-point field goals made (325), three-point attempts (880), with the second-best scoring average (19.8).

For the season, Tomashek is averaging a team-high 21.4 points and 2.9 assists per game. His 620 points this season rank second in the GLIAC and ninth in the country.

Tomashek became the fifth player to surpass 2,000 points earlier this season, with his 2,233 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.
