Kudos to #cofcmcom master’s student Brevin Galloway! 🏀 College of Charleston Athletics recently announced that Brevin (and his teammate Payton) was named to the preseason All-Colonial Athletic Association Second Team “as voted on by the league’s head coaches, media and sports information directors”. Way to go, Brevin!

“Galloway, who graduated in May with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and sociology, is the Cougars’ top returning player averaging 11.3 points per game. Last season, he led the team in steals (69) and was second in assists (55). A 2020 CAA All-Defensive Team selection, Galloway is currently pursuing his master’s degree in communication at The College.” 👏👏
