It marks the second consecutive year that he has been named to the Preseason Watch List.
PROVIDENCE, R.I.- It was announced today (Oct. 31) that Providence College senior Bryce Hopkins (Oak Park, Ill.) was one of 20 players named to the Karl Malone Power Forward Of The Year Preseason Watch List. This marks the second consecutive season that Hopkins was named to the Karl Malone Power Forward Of The Year Preseason Watch List.
Fans are encouraged to participate in Fan Voting, presented by Dell Technologies, in each of the three rounds beginning in November. In late January, the watch list of 20 players for the 2025 Karl Malone Award will be narrowed to 10, and then in late February, to just five. In March, the five finalists will be presented to Malone and the Hall of Fame's selection committee, where a winner will be selected.
The winner of the 2025 Karl Malone Award will be presented on a to be determined date, along with the other four members of the Men's Starting Five. Additional awards being presented include the Bob Cousy Award (Point Guard), Jerry West Award (Shooting Guard), Julius Erving Award (Small Forward), and the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Award (Center), in addition to the Women's Starting Five.
Recently, Hopkins received First Team All-BIG EAST Preseason accolades (Oct. 23) and he was named to the Naismith Trophy Men's College Player Of The Year Preseason Watch List (Oct. 30).
Hopkins had his 2023-24 season cut short when he suffered a season ending injury on January 3, 2024. In the 14 games prior to the injury in 2023-24, Hopkins averaged 15.5 ppg and 8.6 rpg. He recorded five double-doubles, including a 25-point, 14-rebound effort versus Lehigh on November 24, 2023 and a 26-point, 12-rebound performance against Sacred Heart on December 16, 2023.
In 2022-23, Hopkins started all 33 games in his first season with the Friars after transferring from Kentucky. Hopkins, who earned First Team All-BIG EAST honors in 2022-23, led the Friars in scoring (15.8 ppg), rebounding (8.5) and double-doubles (10). He was tied for sixth in scoring and he was second in rebounding amongst BIG EAST players in overall action. Hopkins also ranked third in the league in defensive rebounds (226, 6.8 rpg) and fourth in minutes played (34.9 mpg). In BIG EAST action, he finished third in scoring (16.7 ppg) and rebounding (8.6 rpg). He posted a team-best 10 double-doubles, including a 29-point, 23-rebound, three-steal effort in a double-overtime win over Marquette (103-98) on December 20, 2022. Hopkins' 20-20 game was the 34th in program history. For his efforts, Hopkins also earned 2023 Associated Press All-BIG EAST First Team honors, USBWA District 1 Honors and NABC All-District 5 First Team accolades.
The Friars will open the 2024-25 season on Monday, November 4 as they host Central Connecticut University at 7 p.m. on FS1 at the Amica Mutual Pavilion. Fans interested in purchasing tickets can call 401-865-GO PC or visit Friars.com.
