This recognition follows his outstanding performance against Northern Illinois on January 4, where he scored a career-high 32 points and grabbed nine rebounds.

In addition to his scoring prowess, Nelson drew eight fouls, provided two assists, and blocked one shot during the game. He also achieved a personal best by converting 12 field goals.
