Broadus Named Coach of the Year, Two Bears Earn All-Conference Recognition

Kevin Broadus was named MEAC Coach of the Year, while Alfred Worrell Jr. and Elijah Davis were named to All-Conference Teams.

BALTIMORE, Md. (March 10, 2026) — The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) unveiled its all-conference selections on Tuesday evening, highlighting a standout season for the Morgan State University men's basketball program. Leading the honors was Head Coach Kevin Broadus, who was named MEAC Coach of the Year after guiding the Bears to one of the conference's most impressive turnarounds this season.

Morgan State's success was further reflected with two Bears earning All-MEAC recognition.

Leading the charge, Alfred Worrell Jr. secured a coveted spot on the First Team, a testament to his consistent play throughout the season. Joining the ranks of the conference's elite, Elijah Davis was honored with a selection to the Second Team.
 



Head Coach Kevin Broadus, now in his seventh season leading the Bears program, was a fitting selection by his peers as MEAC Coach of the Year. Broadus guided Morgan State to a 14–15 overall record and a 10–4 mark in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, helping the Bears secure the No. 2 seed in the MEAC Tournament. With the honor, Broadus becomes the first Morgan State coach to earn MEAC Coach of the Year recognition since Todd Bozeman captured the award in back-to-back seasons in 2008 and 2009.

Morgan State engineered one of the most impressive turnarounds in the conference this season. After opening the year with a 3–12 record, the Bears regrouped and caught fire down the stretch, reeling off a six-game winning streak and closing the regular season by winning 10 of their final 12 games. The surge propelled Morgan State to the No. 2 seed in the MEAC Tournament—its highest seed in several years—and marked the program's strongest conference finish of the season. The dramatic climb in the standings highlighted the program's resilience and growth under Broadus' leadership and played a key role in his Coach of the Year selection.

Alfred Worrell Jr.
First Team selection Alfred Worrell Jr. led Morgan State University in scoring with 17.4 points per game, the fourth-highest average in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. Worrell shot 39 percent from the field and 36 percent from three-point range, ranking second in the league, while averaging 2.6 made threes per contest (No. 2 in the MEAC) and 3.8 rebounds per game. He also paced the conference at the free-throw line, shooting a league-best 89 percent, which ranked No. 33 nationally.
 
The Washington, D.C., native delivered several signature performances throughout the season. Worrell erupted for 33 points at Norfolk State Spartans, sealing a dramatic 79–78 victory with a clutch pull-up jumper in the closing moments. Earlier in the season against Penn State Brandywine Lions, he poured in 32 points and tied a Morgan State single-game record by knocking down eight three-pointers (8-of-11).
 
Worrell scored in double figures in 22 games, including 13 performances of 20 or more points, and led the Bears in scoring 14 times—continuing to establish himself as one of the premier guards in the conference.

Elijah Davis
Second Team honoree Elijah Davis proved to be one of the league's most relentless and dynamic point guards. Davis finished second on the team in scoring, averaging 13.7 points per game (No. 9 in the MEAC) while shooting 45.8 percent from the field. He also led the Bears with 34.3 minutes per game and paced the conference with 150 assists.
 
Davis set a new Morgan State single-season record by averaging 6.0 assists per game, surpassing the previous mark of 5.5 set by Chico Langston during the 1992–93 season. His assist average ranked tied for No. 25 nationally, and he also led the MEAC with a 2.34 assist-to-turnover ratio.
 
The Severn, Maryland native recorded five double-digit assist games this season, including a 15-assist performance against Delaware State University on Feb. 21 that tied the program's single-game assist record originally set by Kam Hobbs in December 2023. Davis enters the postseason with 150 total assists and is within reach of Morgan State's single-season assist record of 170, set by Jermaine Bolden in 2008–09.
 
Davis also made his presence felt defensively, collecting 29 steals on the season. More than just filling the stat sheet, Davis has served as the engine of the Bears' offense—consistently orchestrating the attack and creating scoring opportunities for his teammates.
 
With the No. 2 seed and a team playing its best basketball down the stretch, Morgan State now turns its focus toward making a deep run in the MEAC Tournament while pursuing the program's first conference championship since 2010.
 
Morgan State opens MEAC Tournament play on Wednesday in a quarterfinal game with the No. 7- seeded Delaware State Hornets. A victory would propel Morgan State into Friday's semifinals and bring the Bears one step closer to their first MEAC Tournament championship since 2010. Tip-off is set for 6 p.m. at Norfolk Scope Arena, and fans unable to attend can catch all the action live on ESPN+.
