all-conference 2026

For the third year in a row, a member of the TC3 men's basketball team has been voted as the Mid-State Athletic Conference Player of the Year. Jah-Mel Bruce was picked as the top player in voting by coaches in the eight-team league. He was joined on the all-conference team by Malachi Brown and Kashif Summers, Jr., marking the third straight year that three Panthers have been voted all-conference, and the fourth time in program history. Izeir Mayben received Honorable Mention.

Bruce's selection as conference player of the year follows Javonte Long (2025) and Khai Pugh (2024) and marks the seventh time a Panther has been chosen as the top player in the MSAC. Bruce finished the season as the leading scorer in the conference, averaging 22.6 points per game in the MSAC. The freshman also led the conference in steals and free throws, and was third in assists, rebounds, and blocks.

Brown was second on the team in scoring, averaging 14.4 points per game. He was the top 3-point shooter on the team, making 2.9 per game and connecting on nearly 30 percent of his attempts.

Summers was the top rebounder on the team, averaging 8.7 per game, and third on the team in scoring at 14.0 points per game.
