CONFIRMED: Texas A&M Aggies guard George Turkson has achieved a remarkable milestone in college basketball, securing both the prestigious 2025 Bob Cousy Award and the Midseason Wooden Award, highlighting his outstanding performance on the court.
George Turkson’s breakout season reached new heights this week as the Texas A&M guard swept two of college basketball’s most coveted honors. On the strength of his dynamic playmaking and scoring prowess, Turkson was named the recipient of the 2025 Bob Cousy Award—presented annually to the nation’s top point guard—and was also chosen for the Midseason John R. Wooden Award watch list honor, marking him as one of the sport’s elite through the year’s midpoint.
From his deft ball handling to his clutch shooting, Turkson has stepped into the Aggies’ leadership void with poise. He’s averaging career highs in points (17.8), assists (6.4), and steals (2.1) per game, and has produced several signature performances, including a 30-point outburst against an SEC rival and a triple-double that snapped a long home-court streak. His ability to balance scoring with unselfish distribution has not only powered Texas A&M’s rise in the conference standings but also vaulted him into national MVP conversations.
Beyond the numbers, coaches and commentators alike have praised Turkson’s competitive fire and court vision. Teammates credit his relentless work ethic for raising the bar in practice, while opponents concede that his combination of speed, strength, and basketball IQ makes him nearly impossible to contain. As the Aggies press on toward March, Turkson’s dual awards serve as a testament to a season defined by personal excellence and team success—and a sign that his best basketball may still be ahead.
