Bogan collects NAIA All-America Third Team honors

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (April 1, 2024) – Milligan University men's basketball graduate student Follie Bogan was named to the 2024 NAIA All-America Third Team, the national office announced Monday.

Bogan led the Appalachian Athletic Conference (AAC) in scoring and ranked seventh in the NAIA at 23.3 points per game. He finished ninth in the AAC in rebounding at 6.8 rebounds per game and was top-10 in the conference in assists (10th, 99) and steals (eighth, 42).

A five-time AAC Player of the Week, he is the second Buff to earn AAC Player of the Year honors under coach Bill Robinson, following in the footsteps of Aaron Levarity in 2019.

Bogan eclipsed 20 points in 19 of 26 games and had over 30 points six times against conference foes, including a career-high 38 points in a 105-93 win over (RV) Union, the eventual AAC regular-season champion. His season scoring average through the regular season is the fourth-highest total in program history, trailing only Milligan's all-time leading scorer Charles "Toonie" Cash. Bogan had three double-doubles on the season and came one assist shy of a 30-point triple-double at Johnson.

Milligan went 14-13 overall and earned the No. 4 seed in the AAC Tournament with a 14-10 conference record.
