25. B. J. Mack

A 6’8 forward from Charlotte, North Carolina, Mack’s college basketball journey actually started in the AAC. He spent a single season at South Florida before transferring to Wofford in 2020. Over these last three seasons, Mack developed into a major presence for the Terriers and a backbone in their frontcourt.

His first season in the SoCon was a decent effort, mostly as a bench piece for the Terriers, but his upperclassman years were special. As a junior, he averaged 16.5 points and 6.1 rebounds per game in leading Wofford to a 3rd place finish in conference play. His 28-point, 13-rebound effort against Gardner-Webb set career-highs that continue to stand. While the Terriers struggled a bit during his senior year, he put up similar stats and helped stabilize a program dealing with a coaching change.

Mack was named Second Team All-SoCon as a junior and First Team the following season. He performed well in the important games for the Terriers and was one of the top scorers and shooters in the league in those final years. This wasn’t Wofford’s most successful run of the last decade, but Mack proved to be an important piece of the puzzle, with impressive offensive metrics. Next year, he’ll use his fifth and final season of eligibility at South Carolina, meaning his SoCon journey has come to an end.
