Wilson Picks Up Conference Honors

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.

Wilson, a dynamic freshman guard, played a key role in leading the  Knights to two victories last week. She averaged 18.5 points per game, showcasing her scoring versatility and poise under pressure. In Tuesday's win over Louisiana Christian University, Wilson knocked down aclutch three-pointer that helped seal the victory. She shot 42.4 percent from the field for the week, including an impressive 63.6 percent performance in Saturday's game against Harris-Stowe State University. Wilson also hit 40 percent from beyond the arc while adding 10 assists, seven rebounds, and seven steals to her weekly totals.

"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.
