Three Sharks Named to Bevo Francis Award Top-100 Watch List

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Earlier this week, the National Awards Committee and Small College Basketball announced the Bevo Francis Award Top 100 Watch List for the 2025-26 season. The Watch List, which is first announced just after the New Year and will be whittled down to 50 players in February, includes Shark standouts Ross Reeves, Dallas Graziani and Jaxon Nap

Reeves currently leads the Sharks and the Sunshine State Conference in both points and steals per game, as he averages 23.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 3.2 steals per contest. His 23.6 point-per-game average ranks third nationally. He is also hitting over 51 percent of his field goal attempts, while shooting 37.7 percent from behind the arc. The graduate student has nearly doubled his scoring production from a year ago, when he averaged 12.8 points to help Nova Southeastern to its second national title in three seasons. 

Graziani, meanwhile, is averaging 18.7 points (fifth in the SSC), 5.7 assists (first in the SSC, 15th nationally) and 2.5 steals (second in the SSC to Reeves) per game. The senior, who recently broke the program record for career steals, is also shooting over 49 percent from the field and 35 percent from beyond the arc. Graziani currently stands at second in the SSC with a 3.2 assist to turnover ratio, and his steady play at the point guard position has guided NSU to its 12-1 start.

Newcomer Jaxon Nap is third on the team in scoring at 14.8 points per contest, while also providing 8.4 rebounds per game, good enough for fourth in the SSC. Nap has recorded four double-doubles thus far, including a 23-point, 19-rebound, seven-assist breakout performance at Florida Southern back on January 3. The forward from Newcastle, Washington is converting over 50 percent of his field goal attempts and has also been a steady playmaker, averaging 3.0 assists per contest. 

The Sharks will visit Lynn University tomorrow, and tip-off is scheduled for 4:00 PM. To stay up-to-date on Sharks Men’s Basketball, be sure to follow on Instagram and X at NSU_MBasketball.

The Sharks got off to a slow start, as they fell behind 12-3 early and trailed 14-3 after the first media timeout. The Sharks then manufactured a 10-4 run, capped by a bucket from Bennett Kayser, and Dallas Graziani gave the Sharks their first lead of the game, 19-17, on a pullup jumper with just under 10 minutes remaining. 

Ross Reeves then scored 13 straight points for the Sharks, as he hit two threes, an and-one, and converted a four-point play to push Nova’s lead to 32-20 after the under-8 timeout. The Tars fought back to within four, on the strength of two three-pointers and four free throws.

However, they fought back and only trailed by two after a pullup jumper from Jah Nze.

Athletic Department Boasts Highest Semester GPA To Date

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – The Fall 2025 semester was a record-breaking one for the Nova Southeastern Athletic Department, as it posted the highest overall departmental grade point average to date with a 3.52 GPA. The 3.52 mark was just above the previous high of 3.51, set in Fall 2022 and tied in the Fall 2024 semester. The Fall 2025 semester marked the 31st consecutive semester with a 3.0 departmental GPA or better for the Athletic Department.

This achievement is a testament to their hard work, the support of our coaches, and the resources provided by our academic services team.”

Eighty-seven percent of Shark student-athletes posted a 3.0 GPA or better, while 45 student-athletes had a perfect 4.0. One hundred and twenty student-athletes had a 3.80 or better, the highest number to date, which garnered distinction on the Director’s List. Two hundred and forty-three student-athletes were named Scholar Athletes with a 3.25 or better, which is also the highest number to date.

The Women’s Volleyball (3.75), Women’s Cross Country (3.74) and Women’s Soccer (3.71) teams posted the top team GPAs, with Women’s Volleyball and Women’s Soccer posting their highest fall semester team GPA to date. Men’s Basketball (3.42), Men’s Cross Country (3.69), Women’s Cross Country (3.74), Men’s Swimming (3.59) and Men’s Track and Field (3.68) posted the highest overall team GPAs in program history to date.

With the fall semester behind them, the Athletic Department will look to carry this momentum into 2026, as the spring semester and competitions commence.
