JONESBORO, Ark. (3/3/25) – A pair of Arkansas State standouts garnered Sun Belt Conference honors, as the league office announced its 2025 men’s basketball postseason laurels Monday.
Senior guard Taryn Todd earned First Team All-Sun Belt billing, while junior forward Izaiyah Nelson earned third-team honors.
Todd leads the Red Wolves in scoring (15.0) and is also second on the team in steals (37) and third in blocked shots (22). The Vaughan, Ontario, Canada, native is second on the squad with a career-high 50 3-pointers made this season, and he ranks among the top 10 in the conference in scoring, field goals, field goals attempted, assists, and assist/turnover ratio. He is also the only Sun Belt player this season to be named an Oscar Roberts Award National Player of the Week, doing so on Dec. 17, following a 31-point outburst in A-State’s 27-point comeback win at UAB.
Nelson, riding a five-game double-double streak into postseason play, is averaging 10.0 points and a team-leading 8.6 rebounds per game. He ranks fourth in the Sun Belt in both rebounds per game and defensive rebounding (5.3), as well as sixth in blocked shots (1.3). The Atlanta, Ga., native – who also earned Sun Belt Player of the Week honors Monday – is shooting 59.1 percent from the field.
