Leading the Way: Jordan Floyd of King Named Ron Lenz National Player of the Year

ALBANY, N.Y. – Jordan Floyd of King has been named the Division II Conference Commissioners Association Men's Basketball Ron Lenz National Player of the Year.

According to Conference Carolinas records, Floyd is the first men's basketball player in the league's NCAA Division II history to earn National Player of the Year honors. (Conference Carolinas National and Regional Success)

Floyd was also chosen as a Division II Conference Commissioners Association first-team All-America selection and to the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Division II All-America team. 

The Ron Lenz National Player of the Year and first-team All-America honors are part of a senior season for Floyd where he has rewritten the King and Conference Carolinas men's basketball record books. 

Floyd is just the second Tornado to earn All-America honors and first since King became NCAA Division II members in 2010-11. He joins Torrington Cox as the only players in King men's basketball program history to earn All-America honors. Cox was selected to the NAIA third team in 2008 and honorable mention in 2007.

The 2017-18 and 2019-20 Conference Carolinas Player of the Year and the 2019-20 Division II Conference Commissioners Association Men's Basketball Southeast Region Player of the Year, Floyd finished his impressive senior campaign averaging an NCAA Division II-best 31.9 points per game for King.
