Nick McGlynn's standout senior season for the Drake men's basketball extended beyond his on-court accolades as the forward was named the Missouri Valley Conference Enterprise Band and Trust Men's Basketball Scholar-Athlete of the Year, Thursday, March. 7.
McGlynn's honor continues Drake's stranglehold on the award as a Bulldog has now earned the prestigious honor in four-consecutive seasons.
It has also been an eventful week for McGlynn as earlier in the week he was named the MVC Defensive Player of the Year as well as earning a spot on the All-MVC first team, All-Defensive team and Most-Improved team. He was also second in the league's Larry Bird Player of the Year voting.
On the court, McGlynn helped lead the Bulldogs to the third-most wins in school history and a share of the MVC regular-season title by averaging 15.6 points and 8.5 rebounds per game. His 52 total blocks were the second most on the team and helped him become the Bulldogs' all-time leader in blocked shots this season.
Academically, McGlynn owns a 3.62 grade point average and will graduate with a degree in digital media production. Last season, he was a first team selection on the MVC Scholar-Athlete team.
The Bulldogs begin postseason play as the No. 2 seed at the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament and will face either No. 7 Illinois State or No. 10 Evansville Friday at 6 p.m.
