CLEVELAND – Senior forward Delrecco Gillespie has been named Mid-American Conference Player of the Week. The Conference announced on Monday, Nov. 17.
Just five games into the 2025-2026 season, Gillespie has posted a double-double in all five including another three in a row this past week. He is tied for first in the nation in double-doubles. Gillespie tallied 12 points and 12 rebounds against UNCW (Nov. 10), 30 points (a new career high) and 13 rebounds against Cleveland State (Nov. 15), and 26 points and 17 rebounds against Wright state (Nov. 16). Over three Kent State victories including two in The Greenbrier Tip-Off, he totaled 68 points and 42 boards while converting on 26 of 41 field goal attempts.
This marks Kent State's second conference weekly award of the 2025-2026 season, and Gillespie's career first. It is the first time Kent State has won the award on back-to-back weeks since Sincere Carry won two in a row in February of 2022.
