🏆 MEET THE 2025 U SPORTS ATHLETES OF THE YEAR NOMINEES AND WINNERS 🏀 DJ Jackson, STFX What does it mean to you to have been nominated to represent the AUS for the Athlete of the Year Award? It means a lot. Just all the work ethic and trust I put into my game this year, like it’s just paying off, and I feel really confident. How has it been to go to STFX and experience basketball there? I’m very happy with my choice. It’s a great community and everyone’s involved. I love my coaches, my teammates, the community, the people. The best part is being around my coaches and teammates every day, we share a good bond. Just cracking jokes with the guys, hanging her off the court. So it’s really fun. What is the biggest challenge that you feel like you’ve had to overcome this last season? I think just mental toughness. Just not getting too high, not getting too low. Staying true to myself. 📸 mphcentral
