Murray State’s Hall-of-Fame shot-maker with elite scoring chops
In the 2017-18 season, Jonathan Stark was the fastest player in Murray State history to 1,000 points and finished as the program’s all-time two-year scorer with 1,408 points, powered by a fearless, high-usage scoring style and big-game shot creation.[1][2] He was a preseason and postseason star in the Ohio Valley Conference, earning OVC Preseason Player of the Year, OVC Player of the Year, and OVC Tournament MVP honors, with the Racers noting he led the league at 21.4 points per game.[1] For a team, his appeal is easy: he brings instant offense, toughness, and proven takeover ability, though he’s more of a historic Murray State name than a current roster fit in 2026.[1][2]
