Gibson Picks up Conference Honors Again

NEW ORLEANS, La. [November 5, 2025]— Two standout student-athletes from Southern University at New Orleans have been recognized by the HBCU Athletic Conference for their stellar performances on the court. Guard Katelynn Wilson was named Women's Basketball Freshman of the Week, while junior forward Jamal Gibson earned Men's Basketball Offensive Player of the Week honors for their performances during the week of October 27-November 2.

Gibson's powerful play against three of the top teams in the NAIA earned him conference-wide recognition. The junior forward totaled 49 points, shooting 43 percent from the floor while pulling down 12 offensive rebounds and dishing out four assists. Gibson's consistent effort on the offensive glass has made him one of the most dominant rebounders in the nation—at the time of his nomination, he ranked third in the NAIA with 16 offensive rebounds and 14th in total points (72).

"These honors reflect the hard work and dedication both Katelynn and Jamal bring to our program," said SUNO Director of Athletics James A. Matthews, III. "Katelynn and Jamal are two of the toughest players I know, so these honors are no surprise to us. They deserve the recognition, and we hope they continue being honored by our conference and nationally."

The Knights continue their non-conference schedule this week as both teams look to build on their early-season momentum. Fans can catch the Knights in action this weekend at The Castle and at University of New Orleans.
