University of Notre Dame men’s basketball freshman Blake Wesley has been named the Atlantic Coast Conference Rookie of the Week for Monday, December 12, 2021. He shares the weekly award with NC State’s Terquavion Smith.

The South Bend, Indiana, native hit the game-winning free throw line jumper with :12 seconds remaining in Notre Dame’s 66-62 victory over No. 10/12 Kentucky on Saturday, December 11. It was the first home game start of Wesley’s career with the Irish.

Wesley eventually finished with 14 points, shooting 6-of-12 from the field with two three point field goals, four rebounds, three assists and one steal.

The ACC Rookie of the Week award for Wesley is the second in program history. Steve Vasturia earned the nod back on January 6, 2014. It is the 15th ACC weekly honor for the program and the first since John Mooney was named player of the week on February 6, 2020.
