A Finance and English major, Fonts earns the award for the second consecutive season.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. -  Providence College men's basketball coach Ed Cooley announced today (April 18) that student-athlete junior Andrew Fonts (Portsmouth, R.I.) has earned the team's Thomas Ramos Academic Award.  It marks the second consecutive season that he received the honor.  Fonts, who has a 3.5 cumulative grade point average, is majoring in Finance and English.

Fonts played in 12 games this season.  He scored nine points and grabbed two rebounds.  In three seasons with the Friars, Fonts has seen action in 26 games.

The Friar men's basketball annual team awards have traditionally been announced at the team's end-of-the-season banquet in April each year.  This year, the awards will be announced one per day on Friars.com and via the team's social media accounts starting on Saturday, April 18 and continuing through Tuesday, April 28.

The Friars (19-12) entered the 2020 BIG EAST Tournament as hot as any team in the country.  The team had won six straight and eight of 10 games to close the regular season with a NET ranking of 37 and a team record 12 BIG EAST wins (12-6).  The squad finished fourth in league standings and was set to play fifth-seeded Butler on March 12 in the BIG EAST Tournament.  However, due to the Coronavirus outbreak the BIG EAST and NCAA Tournaments were canceled.  The Friars were projected to be a No. 7 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
