Preseason All-Conference Teams: Southeast

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Preseason Player of the Year: </strong>2026 [player_tooltip player_id='1978100' first='Jaxon' last='Clark'] (Keokuk)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 6-9/6-10 big man is a pretty easy choice here, as he's far and away the most dominant two-way player in the league, and he plays for what we expect to be a pretty clear cut favorite to win the conference.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>First Team</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2026 [player_tooltip player_id='1978100' first='Jaxon' last='Clark'] (Keokuk): 19.8 points, 11.5 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 2.2 blocks, 65.6 FG%, 37.0 3P%</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Clark is on the verge of seeing his recruitment absolutely explode, with several Big Ten coaches coming in to watch his open gyms lately. A highly skilled young big man with soft touch, the ability to step out and stretch the floor, great footwork, and excellent hands, he's the type of player that the offense can flow through even when he isn't scoring, as he sees the floor well. He's also a great rim protector who does a nice job contesting without fouling. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2026 [player_tooltip player_id='1978109' first='Christian' last='Stacy'] (Mount Pleasant): 14.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.2 steals</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stacy enjoyed a breakout sophomore year for the Panthers, ranking second on the team in scoring and tying for the team lead in assists per game. He's a high IQ player who can play downhill and attack the rim, and he does a great job not only getting to the free-throw line, but converting his chances when he gets there. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2025 [player_tooltip player_id='1720208' first='Brenton' last='Hoard'] (Keokuk): 11.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 2.6 steals</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hoard is a long, athletic wing who can score from all three levels as well as create plays off the dribble for his teammates. He has the size to see over defenders, is active on the glass, and uses his length effectively on the defensive end.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2025 [player_tooltip player_id='1428956' first='Logan' last='McDole'] (Washington): 12.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.4 steals, 38.8 3P%</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McDole was really productive on both ends of the floor for the Demons as a junior, leading the team in scoring, rebounding, and assists, and ranking second in steals. He shoots it really well from 3-point range off both the dribble and the catch, and he's one of the team's most reliable defenders.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2025 [player_tooltip player_id='2617536' first='Riley' last='Perkins'] (Fairfield): 12.1 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.4 steals</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another player who does a little bit of everything for his team is Perkins, who led the Trojans in scoring and assists, while also contributing on the glass on both ends of the floor. He has good size and length on the wing and uses his length effectively on both ends. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Second Team</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2026 Drew Conrad (Washington)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2026 [player_tooltip player_id='2731702' first='Nolan' last='Guzman'] (Fort Madison)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2025 [player_tooltip player_id='2511523' first='Dayton' last='Lamar'] (Fort Madison)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2027 [player_tooltip player_id='2419825' first='Nic' last='Stone'] (Washington)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2025 [player_tooltip player_id='2398015' first='Tramell' last='Smith'] (Keokuk)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Honorable Mentions</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2025 Julian Dear (Fort Madison)<br>2026 Rajan Roth (Washington)<br>2026 Kael Williams (Washington)<br>2025 Luke Konczal (Fairfield)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
