Another year, another freshman bringing home the honor of Conference-USA Freshman of the Week honors. Najee Garvin, out of Lexington, S.C., brings home the accolade for his production last week in Charlotte’s three victories.
Garvin averaged eight points and four rebounds on the week. Much of his production came off the bench when Charlotte needed that scoring punch. Garvin added ten points and six rebounds against Appalachian State and six points, two rebounds and a block versus James Madison. Then, in the final game of the 49ers homestretch, Garvin got the call to start against Oregon State. Power 5 school aside, Garvin, standing at 6-foot-7, was matched up against a seven-footer and held his own, totaling eight points and four rebounds, including three offensive boards.
