Named MW Player of the Year Dent is the 2024-25 Mountain West Player of the Year, TheMW.com reports.

Impact During the 2025 Mountain West season, only one player logged more than 20.0 points per game. The aforementioned player is Dent, who averaged 20.9 while shooting 49.5 percent from the field and 83.5 percent from the free-throw line across 19 games. Along with free-throw percentage, he also logged team-best rates in assists (6.0) and assist-to-turnover ratio (2.0). Dent's team-leading output helped New Mexico skyrocket from last season's MW underdog to this year's standings leader. With many bases covered, Dent being the Mountain West Player of the Year should not be so surprising.

Solid output in defeat Dent produced 26 points (9-20 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), seven assists and one block across 38 minutes during Tuesday's 73-65 loss to San Diego State.

Impact Dent recorded his highest scoring total of the month and was above his season average in assists, but it wasn't enough to pull off a big road victory. Still, the effort was encouraging from an individual standpoint, as he was able to offer a solid stat line against the top defense in the Mountain West, which bodes well for his outlook when the competition rises even further in March.

11 dimes in defeat Dent recorded 17 points (4-13 FG, 9-11 FT), three rebounds, 11 assists and two blocks across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 86-78 loss to Boise State.

Impact Dent typically provides most of the scoring, but he reached double-digit assists Wednesday for the fourth time this year and first time in MWC play. However, it wasn't enough for the Lobos to escape with the road win, resulting in their eight-game winning streak getting snapped.
