Nelson averaged a double-double with 18.5 points and 10.0 rebounds across two games to help Valdosta State go unbeaten for the week.

Then, the New Orleans, La. native had a VSU career-high 24 points on 56 percent shooting, 16 rebounds, including four offensive, and a steal to help Valdosta State to a 90-79 win in overtime over Georgia Southwestern. This is Nelson’s first-career GSC Player of the Week award.
