🏀CONFIRMED: Ole Miss Star Jaemyn Brakefield Makes History with Bob Cousy Award & Midseason Wooden Honor — A Rebel Rises to National Greatness🔥
In a season overflowing with electric performances and headline-worthy moments, Ole Miss Rebels guard Jaemyn Brakefield has etched his name into college basketball history. The standout guard has officially secured both the 2025 Bob Cousy Award — honoring the nation’s top point guard — and the coveted Midseason John R. Wooden Award, a rare and powerful acknowledgment of his dominant play and leadership.
Brakefield’s rise has been nothing short of meteoric. Once a highly-touted recruit, now a household name, the senior guard has carried Ole Miss with swagger, poise, and elite skill. He’s averaging 21.7 points, 6.3 assists, and 4.9 rebounds per game, but those stats only tell part of the story.
What sets Brakefield apart? His clutch performances in pressure-packed SEC battles, game-winning buckets against top-10 teams, and his ability to elevate every player around him. Whether he’s orchestrating the offense or diving into the paint, his game exudes precision and power — and the nation has taken notice.
“This is about more than numbers. It’s about presence, heart, and grit,” said one Wooden Award voter. “Jaemyn Brakefield is the soul of Ole Miss basketball right now.”
With March Madness fast approaching, Brakefield’s accolades only fuel the fire burning in Oxford. The Rebels are poised for a deep postseason run — and with Brakefield at the helm, they just might shock the world.
Two trophies. One mission. And Jaemyn Brakefield isn’t finished yet.
