JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Florida Gulf Coast forward Bryson Lucas is the only player in the Atlantic Sun Conference to rank in the top five in scoring, rebounds and blocks on a per game basis. For that, and two dominating performances, he has been named the ASUN Newcomer of the Week.

Following the first week of action, FGCU's Bryson Lucas is the only ASUN player to rank in the top-five of the league in points per game (18.5), rebounds per game (8.5), blocks per game (2.5) and double-doubles (1). His 25-point, 10-rebound performance in the season opener at UCF (Nov. 2) made him just the second Eagles player overall and first since 2015 to post a double-double in their FGCU debut as he led Florida Gulf Coast in a 96-95 overtime decision against UCF.

The fifth-year transfer that came from the Division II level currently ranks nationally in double-doubles (18), blocks per game (35th), blocks (37th), offensive rebounds per game (46th), field goals made (56th), rebounds (95th) and rebounds per game (86th). Over the past week, Lucas scored 10+ points in both games, 5+ rebounds in both games, and in at least one game scored 15+ and 20+ points, had 2+ made 3-pointers, multiple steals and 2+ blocks.
Queens guard Nasir Mann was named the league's Player of the Week.

Lucas and FGCU return to the court tonight when the Eagles play at Georgia at 7 p.m. on SECN+.
