Oladele Oladitan & Jayson McGhee Named NJCAA Division III All-Americans

Herkimer Men's Basketball standouts Oladele Oladitan and Jayson McGhee have been named NJCAA Division III All-Americans, capping off a historic season and decorated careers with the Generals.

Together, Oladitan and McGhee helped lead Herkimer to a 55-8 record over the past two seasons. It's the first time in program history the Generals have had multiple NJCAA All-Americans in consecutive years.

Oladitan earned Second Team All-American honors, a year after being named a First Team All-American, becoming just the third player in program history to be named an All-American in back-to-back seasons. The 6'4" guard joins elite company, following Jimmy Smith (1986, 1987) and Robby Marshall (2007, 2008).

He started 29 games this season, posting 405 points, 290 rebounds, and 114 assists. He led the team with 10 rebounds per game and was second in scoring with 14.0 points per game. The sophomore guard recorded 10 games with 20 or more points and tallied 12 double-digit rebounding performances. His season was highlighted by a 29-point outing against SUNY Adirondack and two 16-rebound games. He also earned spots on the NJCAA All-Tournament Team, Region III All-Tournament Team, First Team All-Region, and First Team All-Conference.

McGhee was the team's go-to scorer all season long. He led Herkimer with 15.5 points per game, scoring 481 points across 31 games. The sophomore guard had a handful of electric performances, including a 40-point outburst against Mohawk Valley CC and a 10-assist showing in the NJCAA Tournament against Dallas College–Mountain View. He also grabbed a career-high 11 rebounds at Fulton-Montgomery and drilled six threes in that 40-point night. McGhee was named to the Region III All-Tournament Teams and earned First Team All-Region honors.

Oladitan and McGhee leave behind a legacy of success and leadership that future Generals will aim to match. Their contributions will be remembered as one of the most dominant two-year runs in program history.
