    Senior guard Quin Humphrey capped an impressive Youngstown State basketball career being named a first-team All-Horizon League performer twice. Since joining the Division I ranks more than 25 years ago, no Penguin has accomplished that feat.
    Humphrey was one of the most productive players since that time as well. In his four seasons, he scored 1,707 points, grabbed 674 rebounds and had 253 assists. Overall he ranks eighth in scoring in school history and 10th in rebounding. Only one player has scored more points than Humphrey since the Guins joined the Division I ranks while two have grabbed more rebounds.
    He also finished his career as the school-record holder in minutes played (3,689) and games played (114), ranks second in starts (104), second in 3-point attempts (451), third in 3-pointers made (175), third in steals (137), third in free-throws made (370), fifth in free-throw attempts (492), eighth in blocked shots (46), eighth in field-goals made (586) and ninth in field-goal attempts (1,305).

    As a senior he averaged 18.8 points and 7.1 rebounds per contest. He scored a career-best 584 points while grabbing 221 boards, finishing with 92 assists and 42 steals. While playing a school-record 1,105 minutes, he made 189 field goals, 141 free throws and 65 3-pointers. His 141 free throws were the fourth best in a season in school history while his 65 3-pointers ranked second.
    In Horizon League play, he led the league in scoring for the second consecutive year averaging 19.7 points per game in conference contests.

He scored in double figures in all but one game for the year and had 30-plus points on three occasions.
