BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) announced its 2026 Division I Men's Basketball All-ECAC Teams and major award winners on Wednesday morning. Junior guard Nasir Whitlock was named to the second team All-ECAC.
The ECAC is an eighty-six year old intercollegiate athletics organization with roughly 200 member schools for traditional sports across all three NCAA Divisions - I, II and III - that exists to enhance the experience of student-athletes participating in NCAA sports, and provide great value for universities, by sponsoring championships, leagues, bowl games, tournaments and other competitions throughout the country.
Whitlock was stellar all season long, leading the Mountain Hawks to a Patriot League championship on a league-best 20.5 points per game on an efficient 46.6% from the floor and 43.3% from three. The junior captain also averaged 3.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.0 steals per game. Whitlock scored in double-figures in 33 of 35 games, put up 20+ points 18 times, and was tied for the lead in NCAA Division I basketball with eight 30+ point games. Whitlock was also named Patriot League Tournament MVP, first team All-Patriot League, NABC All-District Second Team, and is a finalist for the Lou Henson Award, given annually to the top mid-major play in all of college basketball.
