Bio

Freshman (2020-21): Blackwell played in 21 games as freshman a season ago, averaging 4.4 points and 2.2 assists per game while shooting 41% from the three point line for FSW.  He had a pair of breakout games, scoring 13 in a Southern Conference win over State College of Florida before setting a new career high with 14 points on 6 of 9 shooting in a win over Pasco-Hernando.  

High School: Blackwell came to FSW after playing at Baldwin High School in New York where he averaged 15.5 points and 7.2 assists per game as a senior to earn All-Conference and All-County honors.  He helped lead his team to a conference championship and the sharpshooter was the winner of the Long Island 3-Point Contest in 2019.  He spent his post grad season at Combine Academy.  

Personal: Born on Independence Day 2000, he is the son of Kory and Sonja Blackwell.  His father Kory played in the NFL for both the New York Giants and the Cleveland Browns.  He has two brothers, Karon (25) who played at Dillard University, and Chey (14).

Bucs Survive and Advance at State Tournament

For 20 minutes of game action, the #14 Florida SouthWestern State Buccaneers looked like they were in trouble Wednesday night on the road in Niceville, Florida in the first round of the 2022 FCSAA State Tournament. FSW shot a dreadful 37% from the field and went just 1-9 from three in the first half and trailed by as many as 13 before roaring back in the second half for a 67-59 win over the Santa Fe Saints to advance to the tournament semifinals Friday.

#17 FSW Hammers #2 Indian River

In their last five meetings with the Indian River Pioneers, the Florida SouthWestern State Buccaneers just couldn't get over the hump.  Going into Wednesday's Top 20 battle between #17 FSW and #2 Indian River, the Pioneers had won five straight over the Bucs, none coming by more than five points and two needing overtime.  To say FSW was frustrated with those results may be the understatement of the year.  Wednesday, the Bucs took out those frustrations on the Pioneers, jumping out to a 6-0 lead to begin the game and never trailing, going up by as many as 19 late in the second half before finishing off a 75-66 win to net their highest ranked win in program history.
