NCAA Basketball: Top 5 candidates for National Freshman of the Year
Moses Moody | 6’6 Shooting Guard | Arkansas Razorbacks
SEC basketball has a dark horse on its hands in the Arkansas Razorbacks and freshman sharpshooter Moses Moody has a lot to do with that. Moody is yet another product of Montverde Academy that’s making waves on the NCAA basketball scene.
He’s producing 16.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.4 steals per contest as the Razorbacks are off to a 9-1 start to the 2020-21 season. He has eclipsed the 20-point plateau scoring-wise twice this season. He’s also scored in double-figures in all 10 of his appearances for Arkansas in 2020-21.
The Razorbacks took their first loss in SEC action against the Missouri Tigers this past Saturday, but Moody still put up the first double-double of his career. He put up 18 points and 10 rebounds, compensating for a rough shooting display.
Moody is still shooting 46.4 percent from the field and 42 percent from 3-point range with 21 3-pointers made already.
