Dylan Harper scoops top honors for the third time this season

Dylan Harper was named the NCAA’s March Madness Player of the Week and Co-Big Ten Freshman of the Week, his third time earning the Big Ten honor. He set a Rutgers record, surpassing Corey Sanders’ previous total.

Dylan Harper showcased his clutch abilities during Saturday, December 14’s matchup against Seton Hall. With just 6.4 seconds left in a tied game, Harper dribbled up the court and sank a deep three-pointer.

Dylan earned the Joe Calabrese MVP plaque after scoring 18 of his 24 points in a thrilling second-half comeback. It was his ninth 20+ point game this season. Earlier, he led Rutgers to their first conference win over Penn State with a career-first double-double: 24 points, 12 rebounds (a career-high), and 5 assists.

This is not the first time Harper has received awards for his performances. He was named Freshman of the Week twice in the last three weeks after standout performances, including an overtime win against Notre Dame and strong games against No. 9 Alabama, No. 20 Texas A&M, and Kennesaw State.
