BREVARD, N.C. – Brevard College men's basketball senior forward Jadon Carnes was selected to the USA South All-Conference First Team for the first time in his collegiate career, while senior guard Zane Caudle represented the Tornados on the All-Sportsmanship Team as the league announced its postseason awards.
 
Carnes becomes BC's second All-Conference First Team selection since the Tornados joined the USA South.
 
Carnes, a fourth-year Tornado from Concord, North Carolina, closed out his collegiate career with a stellar senior campaign in 2025-26. The forward, who averaged 34.4 minutes per game, led the Tornados in field goals made (171), field goal percentage (58.8%), free throws made (69), free throw percentage (89.6), total points (455), points per game (18.2), and offensive rebounds (31). He scored in double figures in 23 of the 25 games, and finished his career with a pair of career-high 33-point performances. For his efforts, Carnes was selected USA South Player of the Week twice in 2025-26.
 
Appearing in 101 total games with 95 starts in his four seasons with the Tornados, Carnes totaled 1,252 points (12.4 ppg), 501 field goals made, 116 3-pointers made, 134 free throws made, 318 rebounds, 274 assists, 56 steals, and 20 blocks. Carnes hit his field goal attempts at a BC NCAA-era record 61.4% clip, drained 41.6% of his 3-pointers, and went 85.9% at the free throw line - which is the best mark for any Tornado in the NCAA era with a minimum of 100 attempts. Carnes' 1252 career points are the third-most in Brevard's NCAA era, and his 18.2 points-per-game are the most by an individual player since BC transitioned to NCAA DIII.
 
Caudle, a fellow fourth-year Tornado from Franklinville, N.C., saw action in 19 contests with a Senior Day start, and scored a career-best nine points in a road matchup at Bob Jones (Nov. 18). The guard will graduate from BC in the Spring with a Bachelor's degree in Business and Organizational Leadership.
 
Brevard finished it 2025-26 campaign with 10 wins, marking its fourth-straight double-digit win campaign.
