Kenney Troutman (Senior; 6-0 Guard; Indianapolis, Ind./Ben Davis)

• Career All-HCAC: First-Team All-HCAC (2025-26), All-HCAC Honorable Mention (2024-25)
• HCAC Athlete of the Week (2025-26)
• Conference-Only Stats – 16.82 Points Per Game (4th in HCAC), .405 3-Point Field-Goal Percentage (62-for-153, 1st in HCAC), .459 Field Goal Percentage (100-for-218, 1st in HCAC), 1.24 Steals Per Game (13th in HCAC)

• Coach Carter Collins's Comments – Kenney has had an awesome year. He's been one of the top scorers in the conference while simultaneously maintaining efficiency with excellent shooting percentages. His own stats make it evident how great of a player he is, but to get the full picture, you also need to take into consideration the gravity and attention that Kenney requires from the other team, opening up opportunities for his teammates. Kenney made significant improvements as a player each year that he was on campus, and I'm thrilled to see him write a final chapter that he'll always be able to be proud of.

Elijah Mattingly (Senior; 6-7 Wing; Beech Grove, Ind./Central Christian/Anderson/Saginaw Valley State)

• Career All-HCAC: Second Team (2023-24, 2025-26)
• 2023-24 HCAC Defensive Player of the Year
• 3-time HCAC Athlete of the Week (2 x 2023-24, 1 x 2025-26)
• HCAC Single-Game Rebound Record Holder (21)
• Conference-Only Stats – 10.3 Points Per Game, 10.75 Rebounds Per Game (1st in HCAC), 1.69 Blocks Per Game (2nd in HCAC), 1.31 Steals Per Game (9th in HCAC), 2.88 Assists Per Game (14th in HCAC)
• Overall Stats – 11.38 Points Per Game (19th in HCAC), 10 Rebounds Per Game (28th in nation, 2nd in HCAC), 1.25 Blocks Per Game (3rd in HCAC), 2.71 Assists Per Game (15th in HCAC), 1.1 Steals Per Game
• Coach Carter Collins's Comments – I couldn't be prouder of what Elijah did this year. Elijah hasn't been anywhere close to fully healthy since basically the start of the season. He plays the middle spot in our zone, which is a thankless task that requires a whole lot, physically. Not many people, if any, would have been capable of showing up every game and still make as big an impact on the outcome of our games as what Elijah has this season. He's a game-changing player that allows us to be versatile on both ends of the court. I am in awe of what Elijah put his body through this year to ensure that we won a conference title, in his final season of college basketball.

Bryce Williams (Junior; 6-1 Guard; Fishers, Ind./Fishers)

• Career All-HCAC: First Team (2024-25), Second Team (2025-26)
• D3hoops.com Third-Team All-Region (2024-25)
• D3hoops.com Team-of-the-Week Selection (2025-26)
• HCAC All-Tournament Team (2024-25)
• Conference-Only Stats – 12.76 Points Per Game (17th in HCAC), 4.88 Assists Per Game (1st in HCAC), 1.82 Steals Per Game (2nd in HCAC), 2.31 Assist-Turnover Ratio (83 Assists, 36 Turnovers, 3rd in HCAC), .509 Field-Goal Percentage (85-for-167, 4th in HCAC), 4.3 Rebounds Per Game
• Overall Stats – 12.92 Points Per Game (15th in HCAC), 4.88 Assists Per Game (44th in nation, 2nd in HCAC), 2.07 Assist-Turnover Ratio (122 Assists, 59 Turnovers, 2nd in HCAC), 1.72 Steals Per Game (4th in HCAC), 4.3 Rebounds Per Game
• Coach Carter Collins's Comments – Bryce had his best season yet. He drew more attention from opposing defenses this year than ever before, but still equaled his scoring output from a season ago, while increasing his shooting percentages (FG%, 3PT%, and FT% all higher), earning more rebounds, and impressively increasing his assists while also decreasing his turnovers. He's one of the best point guards in the country, and our offense thrives on his creation for others. Bryce also stepped up as a leader this year, significantly more than he was ever asked to before, and we needed every bit of it to win another conference title.

Nolan Swan (Sophomore; 6-1 Guard; Tipton, Ind./Tipton)

• Career All-HCAC: All-HCAC Honorable Mention (2025-26)
• HCAC Athlete of the Week (2024-25)
• Conference-Only Stats – 12.89 Points Per Game (15th in HCAC), .341 3-Point Field-Goal Percentage (46-for-135), 2nd in HCAC), 2.6 Assists Per Game, 0.9 Steals Per Game, 3.9 Rebounds Per Game
• Overall Stats – 12.85 Points Per Game (16th in HCAC), .363 3-Point Field-Goal Percentage (66-for-182, 3rd in HCAC), 2.7 Assists Per Game, 1.1 Steals Per Game, 3.5 Rebounds Per Game
• Coach Carter Collins's Comments – Nolan is a special player and a special person. Offensively, his skills are readily apparent to the naked eye, with his obvious ability to stretch the court in a way that very few, if any, are capable of, while also being a major threat in attacking the rim, as well. Defensively, I'm not sure how many realize how impressive Nolan is in being able to mentally handle playing both guard and wing in our zone - two totally different positions. And last but definitely not least, Nolan has stepped up in a major way this season as a leader, likely ranking as our most vocal captain, an incredibly impressive feat for a sophomore on a conference championship team.
