TAMPA, Fla., November 10, 2025 – University of South Florida senior forward
Josh Omojafo has been named an honorable mention selection for The American's weekly men's basketball awards, the conference announced Monday afternoon.
Omojafo earns the recognition after a pair of standout performances that highlighted his scoring ability and leadership on both ends of the floor.
The 6-foot-7 forward led the Bulls in scoring this week, averaging 25.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 2.5 steals over the week. He opened with 17 points, five rebounds, and three assists in USF's 102–67 win over Florida A&M, shooting 4-of-6 from the field and a perfect 8-of-8 from the free-throw line.
Omojafo followed that effort with a career-high 33 points in USF's 99–95 battle at George Washington, where he shot 9-of-14 from the floor, 3-of-5 from three, and 12-of-14 from the line. He also added seven rebounds, three steals, and two blocks in the performance.
His 33-point outing marked the first 30-point game by a USF player since March 1, 2023, and he became the first Bull to record 20 or more points in a half since January 12, 2024.
Omojafo is the first Bull this season to earn weekly recognition from the American as South Florida continues to build momentum under head coach
Bryan Hodgson.
Up Next:
Before traveling to Kennesaw State for the "Love Wins Classic," the Bulls return home to the Yuengling Center on Wednesday, Nov. 12, to host Coppin State in a non-conference matchup. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. on ESPN+.
