TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Indiana State men's basketball's Jayson Kent was named this week's Mark Clinkenbeard Construction ISU Student-Athlete of the Week as announced by the athletic department on Monday afternoon.
 
Kent helped the Sycamores remain undefeated in MVC play over the week with back-to-back career games against Evansville and Northern Iowa. The Sycamore forward averaged a double-double from the floor with 21.0 points and 10.5 rebounds per game, while shooting 61.9% from the floor and 13-of-16 from the free throw line.
 
Against Evansville at home, Kent recorded his then season-high of 18 points and added eight rebounds, shooting 62.5% from the floor, converting 8-of-9 from the free throw line. Kent scored eight of his points in the final 11 minutes of the game to help ISU hold onto the lead down the stretch.
 
In the Sunday game, Kent scored a career-high 24 points on 61.5% shooting from the field, knocking down a season-high three three-pointers. The junior also recorded a career-high 13 rebounds marking his fourth double-double of the season. Kent scored 14 of the team's final 25 points and made all three of his three-pointers in that stretch to help fend off the UNI comeback and secure the victory.
 
The Mark Clinkenbeard Construction ISU Student-Athlete of the Week will be announced every Monday afternoon throughout the 2023-24 athletic season.
