Offermans is first recipient of Norman Majors Award

Charlton Offermans was presented the Norman Majors Player of the Year Award by RU Director of Athletics Gary Burns.

Senior guard Charlton Offermans of Townsville, Australia is the first recipient of the Norman Majors Player of the Year Award for Rockhurst Men's Basketball.

The Norman Majors Player of the Year award recognizes the Rockhurst player who inspires teammates through his fierce competitive spirit, commitment, positive attitude, and ability to persevere through adversity.

Majors was a three-year letterman at Rockhurst from 1959-62. He averaged 13.7 rebounds per game in 1959-60 and set the single-game rebound mark with 28 caroms in 1959. Majors was drafted by the Chicago Packers in the 1962 NBA Draft and went on to serve in the Peace Corps.

This award is named in honor of Norman Majors to honor his legacy, and the legacy of all alumni who have been a part of the Rockhurst men's basketball community over the past 100 seasons.

"Charlton was a bright spot for our program this year," said Rockhurst coach Drew Diener. "His unselfish approach to the offensive end of the floor combined with his tenacity on defense was outstanding.

"I am a firm believer that he was the best on-ball defender in the league this year. Most importantly, his approach to practice epitomizes the characteristics of the Norman Majors Award. He battled through a lot of aches and pains all season, but he didn't let it affect his mindset and his positive attitude."
