Trevon Bluiett, a consensus All-American selection as a senior, is one of the most decorated players in Xavier history. Xavier made the NCAA Tournament in each of Bluiett’s four seasons, including the 2017 Elite Eight, the 2015 Sweet 16 and the Second Round in 2016 and 2018, giving him a school-record tying seven NCAA Tournament wins on his resume.
Bluiett made his mark on the Xavier record book, finishing second on XU's all-time scoring list with 2,261 career points and 12th on Xavier's all-time rebounding list with 762 career rebounds. His 116 career double-figure scoring games are just one shy of the school record. Bluiett was one of only 13 players in league history to earn BIG EAST First Team honors three times (2016, 2017, 2018). In addition he was named to the All-BIG EAST Tournament Team for three straight years as well.Â
As a senior, Bluiett was named Second Team All-American by the Associated Press, the National Association of Basketball Coaches, the United States Basketball Writers Association, Sporting News, USA Today, CBS Sports, NBC Sports and NCAA.com, helping lead Xavier to a 29-6 record, finishing one win shy of tying the school record for wins. Xavier won its first BIG EAST Conference Regular Season Championship with a 15-3 record and earned a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history. XU finished with a school-record No. 3 ranking in the final AP Poll. He was also on the John R. Wooden Award All-America and Lute Olson All-America Teams. Bluiett finished sixth in the BIG EAST in scoring at 19.3 ppg. and also led the team in rebounding at 5.5 rpg. (15th in the BIG EAST).
Bluiett, a First Team All-BIG EAST and NABC First Team All-District 5Â selection as a junior, was named to the five-member 2017 All-West Regional Team after averaging 21.3 ppg. for Xavier's four games in the NCAA Tournament, including 21 vs. Maryland, 29 vs. Florida State on March 18 and 25 vs. Arizona. He was also named Tire Pros Invitational MVP in addition to his already listed BIG EAST honors.
Following graduation, Bluiett began his professional career overseas.
