Cox, the Raiders’ leading scorer this past season, averaged 17. 9 points, 5. 3 assists, 5.
2 rebounds, and 1. 7 steals per game while shooting 36. 5% from 3-point range.
His all-around production earned him First Team All-Patriot League honors as well as a spot on the All-Defensive Team. The guard made a significant leap from his sophomore season, when he was already on Kentucky’s radar during Colgate’s trip to Rupp Arena in the 2024-25 season. That night, in Mark Pope’s first year leading the Wildcats, Kentucky held off a scrappy Colgate team 78-67.
