Nabors to join SEC champs next season

FULTON, Miss. – ICC standout catcher Hunter Nabors (Montevallo, Ala.) will continue his baseball career with the University of Mississippi baseball team next season. 

"It's a blessing," said Nabors. "All the work and everything I put in paid off but I wouldn't be here if it wasn't from the support of my family, coaches and teammates."

Nabors earned a spot on the Mississippi Association of Community and Junior Colleges (MACJC) All-State team after batting .353 with 48 hits seven doubles and a team-high six home runs. He drove in 28 runs and scored 31 runs in 46 games played. Defensively, Nabors picked off 22 runners and had a .989 fielding percentage on 371 total chances in 46 games played.

He finished his two seasons in Fulton with a .321 career batting average, .429 on-base percentage and .459 slugging percentage in 70 games played.  

"Hunter is a good one,' said Collier. "He came to ICC and worked hard in the weight room and bought in to the program. Hunter is strong, can hit the ball really well and is a great young man."

Nabors helped the Indians (33-17) advance to the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Region 23 Tournament for the first time since 2012 and earn the program's highest-ever ranking at No. 2 in March. 

He will follow former Indian and current Rebel senior outfielder Timothy Rowe (Hernando) to Oxford.
