PITMAN, NJ - Rutgers-Newark men's basketball standout Levi Holton has earned a well-deserved spot on the All-New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) Second Team after a remarkable season that saw him cement his place in the program's history. The 6-foot senior guard, a versatile force on both ends of the floor, put together an exceptional performance, averaging 20.2 points per game and 7.5 rebounds per game, exhibiting his phenomenal play.
Holton's journey to this prestigious honor was marked by his consistent play and leadership throughout the year. Not only did he exceed the 1,000-point milestone, but his all-around contributions were crucial for Rutgers-Newark's success. His 20.2 points per game ranked him among the top scorers in the NJAC, while his 7.5 rebounds per game showcased his tenacity and physicality in the paint. He was also a defensive presence, finishing the season with 37 steals and 16 blocks, helping to stifle opposing offenses.
Offensively, the Paterson, NJ native was a well-rounded threat. His field goal percentage of .509 reflected his efficiency in the paint and from mid-range, while his .366 three-point percentage demonstrated his ability to stretch the floor. Furthermore, his .721 free throw percentage showed a cool composure when it mattered most.
Holton's remarkable statistics are a testament to his development as a player and his hard work over the years. His consistent scoring and rebounding made him an indispensable asset for head coach Joe Loghran and the Rutgers-Newark program. Whether it was his explosive drives to the basket or his leadership in the locker room, Holton's impact on and off the court has left an indelible mark.
