Voted on by national and regional representatives, the rankings weigh a combination of student-athlete performance at the junior college level and their projected performance at the next level.

White averages 18.4 points per game this season for the top-ranked 15-0 Nighthawks, serving as the team’s leader in scoring (276), rebounds (133), assists (107) and blocks (28). Individually, White ranks in the top 10, nationally, in assists and defensive rebounds. This season, White has broken NPC’s all-time records for blocks and rebounds and is on pace to become the Nighthawks’ all-time leader in assists and scoring.

“What a great accomplishment for Nakavieon,” NPC head men’s basketball coach Dillon Hargrove said. “Being named a top five player in the country is a very hard thing to do. Nakavieon has put in the work and invested himself. We are very proud of him and happy he represents National Park College men’s basketball.”
