Pace Prosser is not just having a good season. He is putting together one of the most exciting runs in NCAA Division II basketball. The sophomore guard from Gannon has turned heads across the country with his scoring, playmaking, and steady leadership. Every week, it feels like his name shows up in another headline.
The latest recognition came on February 16, 2026, when Prosser earned PSAC West Athlete of the Week. That award did not come from a quiet stretch of games. It followed a dominant run where he led No. 6 Gannon to two key conference wins and looked completely in control on the court.
A Weekend That Demanded Attention
E Sports / Prosser’s performance against Seton Hill set the tone for the week.
Plus, he shot 11 of 18 from the field, hit three shots from deep, and stayed perfect at the free-throw line. That kind of efficiency stands out at any level.
Across the two wins, he averaged 27 points while shooting over 61 percent from the field. His three-point shooting sat above 52 percent, and he did not miss a single free throw. That mix of volume and accuracy is rare, and it forced defenses to adjust on every possession.
Prosser also filled the stat sheet in ways that do not always show up in highlight clips. He averaged 5.5 assists, 4.5 rebounds, and added steals on defense.
The PSAC West honor is just one piece of a much bigger story. Prosser has built a season that goes far beyond one strong week. Earlier in the year, he earned a spot as a Top 50 finalist for the Bevo Francis Award, which recognizes elite players across small-college basketball.
That recognition placed him among the best players in Division II, Division III, NAIA, and junior colleges. It showed that his impact is not limited to his conference. Coaches and analysts across the country have started to take notice of what he brings every night.
In March 2026, his consistency paid off with first-team NABC Division II All-District honors. Awards like that don’t come from short bursts—they’re built over months of reliable production. His season checked every box.
Built for Big Moments

As the games grew bigger, Prosser looked even more comfortable. He averaged over 26 points per outing during the NCAA Division II Atlantic Region Tournament, playing with control and intent.
That run earned him MVP honors and helped push Gannon to a championship. It also answered a key question—how he performs under pressure. The answer was clear.
Down the stretch, he stayed steady, making smart decisions and avoiding rushed plays. He attacked when opportunities opened and trusted teammates when defenses tightened. That balance is rare.
He started all 34 games and averaged 14.3 points, while also leading the team in assists and steals. His influence stretched well beyond scoring.
The PSAC Tournament provided his signature moment. With 29 points and 10 rebounds in the final, he led Gannon to a 74–58 victory over Shepherd, sealing back-to-back conference titles.
