KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Michigan Tech Huskies men’s basketball guard Marcus Tomashek is on the Top-25 list for the 2025 Bevo Francis Award announced on Saturday. He was previously announced as a Top-50 finalist in mid-February.

The Clarence “Bevo” Francis Award is presented annually to the player who has had the finest overall season within Small College Basketball. Considerations will be season statistics and individual achievements, awards, personal character and team achievements.  This is an incredibly prestigious award, as this award will only be given to one player within Small College Basketball per season.

Tomashek, a Green Bay, Wisconsin, native, is a two-time First-Team All-GLIAC selection and 2024-25 GLIAC Player of the Year, Tomashek was the Huskies leading scorer this season helping the Huskies to a GLIAC Regular Season Championship and an NCAA tournament berth. Tomashek, a five-time GLIAC Offensive Player of the Week and one-time National Player of the Week this season, poured in 23.2 points per game, grabbed 4.2 rebounds, and handed out 2.8 assists. The junior ranked 11th in the country in scoring, collecting 30 or more points nine times including two 40-point outbursts. His 720 points this season ranks seventh nationally and the fourth-most points in a season in program history.

The Huskies finished an impressive season in the NCAA Tournament round of 32 with an overall record of 24-8.

2025 marks the eighth year of the Bevo Francis Award. Past winners include Dominez Burnett of Davenport University in 2016, Justin Pitts of Northwest Missouri State University in 2017, Emanuel Terry of Lincoln Memorial University in 2018, Aston Francis of Wheaton College in 2019 and Kyle Mangas of Indiana Wesleyan University in 2020, Trevor Hudgins of Northwest Missouri State in 2022, RJ Sunahara of Nova Southeastern in 2023 and Elijah Malone of Grace in 2024.
