Chris Arias<\/a> as the pair of Dolphins named to back-to-back All-Freshman teams. The Springdale, Arkansas native also became the 16th\u00a0Dolphin all-time to be voted to the ASUN All-Freshman squad.<\/p>\nIt’s hard to talk about Jacksonville’s 2025-26 season without mentioning Wood, who leads the ‘Phins in a myriad of statistical categories.
\nWood stepped onto the court in Coral Gables, starting his first college game at the University of Miami. There, he dropped 10 points, one of his 17 double-digit scoring games which is best on the team.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He leads the team in total starts (30), minutes played (824), field goals made (121), field goal attempts (269), 3-pointers made (55), 3-pointers attempted (147), 3-point shooting percentage (37.4%), total points (355), scoring average (11.5). Wood is also second on the team in blocks (20) and fourth in total rebounds (95).<\/p>\n
Of all the Dolphin players, Wood is the only one with a double-digit scoring average.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In conference play, Wood has ratcheted up his ability when it has mattered most. His in-conference scoring average raises all the way to 13.7 points per game against ASUN opponents.<\/p>\n
Wood’s best games all season have come in conference play, like when he dropped a career-high 25 points in a win over North Alabama, later dropping the same amount in a home win over Stetson. The guard had five ASUN games in 20-point scoring range. In two of those games, he made eight or more shots from the field.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Against the Hatters in his 25-point showcase, Wood went a perfect 12-12 from the line, showcasing his impressive 74.2 free throw percentage.\u00a0
\nThe Dolphins, led by their star freshman, start their journey in the ASUN Tournament Wednesday morning. JU, competing as the #9 seed, takes on #8 Bellarmine from inside UNF Arena Wednesday, March 4 at 12:00 p.m. The game will be broadcast on ESPN+.<\/p>\n
