He is also averaging 4.1 rebounds per game, while his 35.9 minutes per contest is the second highest average in the league. He has also connected on a three-point field goal in his last 16 games.

Troutman was named the SAC Statistical Champion for free throw percentage. As a team, Tusculum was also the statistical champion for free throw percentage (.779) and scoring defense (64.8 ppg).
