Freshman forward Fabian White Jr. was named rookie of the week after a stellar performance that included a double-double in a 97-57 win over University of the Incarnate Word, the American Athletic Conference announced on Twitter.
White’s double-double makes him the 14th freshman in school history to accomplish the feat and the first since Danuel House was honored in 2012.
The 6-foot-7, 210-pound freshman came off the bench and made the most of the minutes he was given by head coach Kelvin Sampson. White finished the game with 14 points, 12 rebounds, three blocks and three steals in the victory.
