A Swiss Army knife is defined in two ways:
- Objects: A device or tool capable of performing a wide variety of tasks.
- People: A versatile "jack-of-all-trades" who excels in many different roles.
That definition perfectly describes 2025–26 basketball MVP Adrian Body II.
Broadcasting home games this season, it became routine to glance down at the stat sheet midway through the second half and see Body stuffing every category — 13 points, 5 assists, 4 rebounds, 3 steals, and a block. Night after night, the sophomore from Texas filled up the box score and impacted the game in every possible way.
Body averaged more than 10 points per game while also contributing nearly 6 rebounds and 4 assists per contest. He led the team in steals, shot 38% from three-point range, and proved especially clutch late in games, knocking down 80% of his free throws.
Head coach David Graham praised Body's growth throughout the season.
"The progress Adrian has made from last year to this year is a tribute to his hard work," Graham said. "He played more and delivered. He earned this MVP."
Body credited his teammates and coaches for helping him reach another level.
"I couldn't have done this without my teammates," Body said. "Coach trusted me more this year, and I am thankful that I had the opportunity to play and show my versatile game."
