NCAA DII: MJ Iraldi, Nova Southeastern NCAA DIII: Octavio Brito, Keene State NAIA: Kashie Natt, LSU–Alexandria Two-year schools: Isaac Finlinson, Snow The NABC Player of the Year is an award given annually by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) to recognize the top player in men's college basketball across the four largest college athletic associations in the United States. The award has been given since the 1974–75 season to National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I basketball players and since 1982–83 to both Division II and Division III players. At the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and two-year schools' levels it has been awarded since 2007–08. The award is voted on by NABC member coaches across all divisions. Through approximately the 1998–99 season, the Division I players were presented with the Eastman Award.

Through the 2024–25 college basketball season, there have been 14 multiple-time winners spanning the four associations. No player who has been a lower division player of the year (i.e. any division lower than NCAA Division I) has transferred to a higher-division school and become a repeat NABC player of the year.

Two-year schools

Since two-year college players only attend for two years, these players are only either freshmen or sophomores. Afterwards, they move on to four-year universities to finish their last two seasons of NCAA eligibility. The University column reflects which team these players would play for following their two-year college careers.
