The 6-3 Wesley scored in double figures in all 30 games, recording 19 20-point performances and three games of 30 or more points, highlighted by a season-high 33 points against Missouri Western on Dec. 13 and Truman State on Jan. 31. Wesley now ranks 30th all-time in program history with 1,094 career points.

Wesley was joined on the NABC All-Midwest Region teams by teammate Drenin Dinkins, who was named to the All-Region Second Team. Dinkins led the Hawks with a 23.2 scoring average.
