RJ Davis Named To Jerry West Award Midseason List

North Carolina fifth-year guard RJ Davis is among 10 players nationally named as candidates for the 2025 Jerry West Award, the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame announced on Tuesday afternoon.

Davis won the 2024 West Award as the top shooting guard in Division I men's college basketball last season. The award, named after the late Class of 1980 Hall of Famer and 1959 NCAA Final Four Most Valuable Player, celebrates its 11th year in 2025.

Fans are encouraged to participate in fan voting starting on Friday, February 7, on hoophallawards.com. The Fan Vote will count as one committee vote during the finalist selection process.

In March, the Top 10 list will be narrowed to just five, and in late March, the five finalists will be presented to West's family and the Hall of Fame's selection committee, where a winner will be selected. The selection committee for the Jerry West Award is composed of top men's college basketball personnel, including media members, head coaches, sports information directors and Hall of Famers.
