Crutchfield, Graziani Headline All-SSC Honorees

ORLANDO, Fla. - The good news continues rolling in for #1 Nova Southeastern. The Sharks were well-represented on the All-Sunshine State Conference teams, and multiple players were recognized. Head Coach Jim Crutchfield, Dallas Graziani, Ross Reeves, Jaxon Nap and Ryan Davis all earned league honors.

A day after leading NSU to its 100th consecutive home victory, Crutchfield was named the SSC Coach of the Year for the fifth time. Crutchfield has led the Sharks to a 25-1 record, with a 19-1 mark in SSC play. His trademarked style of play has the Sharks averaging 101.8 points per contest while holding opponents to 77.3, and they force an average of 19.6 turnovers per game. They currently average 12.2 steals per game, also good for first in the conference.

Graziani was named the 2025-26 SSC Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year, after posting season averages of 19.9 points, 6.3 assists (first on the team and in the SSC) and 2.3 steals per game. The senior passed Sharks associate head coach Nick Smith for most steals in a career back on November 24 against Puerto-Rico Mayaguez, and later broke the career record for assists on February 19 against Embry-Riddle. His 6.3 assist-per-game average is good for sixth in the nation, while his 3.34 assist-to-turnover ratio is good for second nationally (as of March 2, 2026).

Ross Reeves was named First Team All-SSC after posting averages of 23.4 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game. His 23.4 point-per-game average led the Sharks, the SSC and was good for seventh nationally. He has nearly doubled his scoring average from last season (12.8 points) and has drilled 35% of his three-point attempts while also shooting 80% from the charity stripe.

Jaxon Nap was named to Second Team All-SSC. The Newcastle, Washington native is averaging 14.1 points, 8.2 boards (leads team; fifth in SSC) and 2.8 assists per game. He has posted six double-doubles on the year and recorded 11 games with nine or more rebounds. 

Ryan Davis and Graziani were both named to the SSC All-Defensive Team. Davis has made his presence felt as a relentless on-ball defender while posting averages of 9.8 points and 5.8 boards per contest. He had a season-high 20 points, eight boards and three assists back on December 8, 2025 against Barry. He and Graziani are the lone members remaining from both the 2023 and 2025 National Championship teams. 

The Sharks will continue their championship pursuit tomorrow as they'll host Barry University in the SSC Tournament Semifinals. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:00 PM. To stay up-to-date on Sharks Men's Basketball, be sure to follow on Instagram and Twitter/X at NSU_MBasketball.
