The 22-year-old grad transfer from Philadelphia decided in March to continue his collegiate career at Coppin State after a strong career at Penn State. Sessoms played his first two seasons at Binghamton before transferring to play his junior and senior seasons for the Nittany Lions.
Sessoms currently ranks fourth in scoring in all of Division I men’s basketball, averaging 23.7 points per game through 13 contests. He also leads the Eagles in assists per game with 5.6 and is one of a few active players with both 1,500 points and 350 assists.
His efforts this season haven’t gone unrecognized. This past week, Sessoms was named the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Player of the Week for the fifth straight week.

After beginning the season with a record of 3-2, Sessoms and the Eagles have lost seven of their last eight outings. Next up for Coppin State is a matchup with James Madison at 11 a.m. on December 21.
