BRENTWOOD, Tenn. – Jacksonville State junior Trenton Marshall has been named the Ohio Valley Conference's Player and Newcomer of the Week for his record-breaking performance last week, the league office announced on Monday.

Marshall, a 6-foot-5 combo player from Garyville, La., earned his fourth Newcomer of the Week award and his first Player of the Week honor, thanks in large part to his 37-point performance at Southeast Missouri to start the week. The transfer from Jones Junior College in Ellisville, Miss., became the first Gamecock to score 37 points in a game since 1991 and broke the school's Division I scoring record in the process.

On the week, he averaged 25 points and eight rebounds per game, while shooting 54 percent from the floor and 42 percent from behind the 3-point line. Marshall also dished three assists per game and averaged two steals per contest.

His big night on Monday broke Jay Knowlton's previous record of 33 points and was driven by 28 second-half points, also a school record. It was the highest scoring output in a game by an OVC player this season and was accompanied by a team-high seven rebounds and a 4-for-9 outing from behind the 3-point line.

Marshall continued to produce into the week, following his record-breaking night with 17 points and seven boards in a Gamecock win over Eastern Kentucky on Thursday. Despite going 0-for-5 from behind the arc against the Colonels, he was 7-for-7 inside the 3-point line while also dishing three assists and grabbing a career-high four steals.

He capped the week with his second career double-double on Saturday against Morehead State. He scored a game-high 21 points, thanks to a 4-for-5 night from behind the arc, and pulled in a team-best 10 boards. He also dished five assists in the loss to the Eagles.

The two honors give the Gamecocks a total of eight weekly awards this season, tying the most in a season by JSU since joining the league for the 2003-04 season. Marshall joins juniors Nick Murphy and Jeremy Bynum to combine for four Player of the Week awards, also the most in a season for JSU since joining the league. Marshall has earned all four of the Gamecocks' Newcomer of the Week accolades this year.

The Gamecocks will be on the road for two games this week, beginning with a 7:30 p.m. game at first-place Murray State on Thursday in Murray, Ky. They will then travel to Martin, Tenn., for a 6 p.m. game at UT Martin on Saturday.
