Kelly Named D3hoops.com All-Region 4 Third Team

Abington, Pa. – Penn State Abington senior JoJo Kelly added another honor to his impressive season in an Abington uniform when he was named to the D3hoops.com All-Region 4 third team as announced by the organization on Monday. Kelly is the first-ever player to earn all-region honors from D3hoops.com.

"I am so proud of JoJo," said head coach Sean Westerlund. "He is the definition of a torch lighter and blazed a trail for our program. He planted a seed of a tree he will not get to sit under, but he's made our program better and is being recognized for it. He had an absolute historic year for us and is deserving of the D3hoops.com All-Region nod. I am thrilled he is getting the recognition he deserves because he's a true competitor and winner."

Earlier this month, Kelly was named to the All-United East Conference (UEC) first team after putting together a stellar senior campaign. In his first and only season at Abington, Kelly averaged 19.9 points per game setting the program's single season record in the Division III era. Kelly totaled 498 points in 25 games; the third most scored in a single season. In addition, the Philadelphia native averaged 5.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game. Kelly also shot over 80-percent from the free throw line connecting on 130-of-161 attempts on the year. His 130 made free throws are third most in a single season. He ranked third in the United East in scoring and second in made free throws.

During the course of the season, Kelly scored 20-plus points in 14 games, including a program record 47 points against Gallaudet University on Senior Day. Against the Bison, Kelly drained 17 shots and, in the process, set another single game record for most made field goals. Earlier in the year, he set the single season record for most free throws with 15 against Penn State Brandywine.

Abington (6-20, 6-7 UEC) earned the sixth seed in the United East tournament as the Nittany Lions qualified for the postseason for the first time since 2023. It marked the team's sixth overall appearance in the conference tournament in the program's Division III era.
