Zach Little and senior
Trevor Lewis earned all-conference honors and head coach
Jean-Paul Hebert was named Coach of the Year, the league office announced Friday. This is Little's second career All-MW nod, while it marks Lewis' and Hebert's first time receiving MW kudos.
Hailing from Croxley Green, England, Little leads the Rebels in scoring average (70.7) to rank eighth in the MW and has a team-best seven top-15 finishes. In his second season at UNLV, he won the Mountain West individual title with the program's 54-hole low for a conference championship (17-under 199) to give UNLV a sweep of the team and individual championships. Among his top efforts, he posted a season-low round of 8-under 64 (Mountain West Championship), a team-best 20-par-or-better rounds with 15 rounds under par, eight par-or-better tournament scores and seven consecutive top-15 finishes entering the NCAA postseason.
Originally from Prescott, Arizona, Lewis stands as the Rebels' leader in top-10 finishes (3) and second in scoring average (71.40), ranking top 10 in the league in both categories. His highest finish of the year came in a tie-for-eighth performance with a season-low 54-hole score of 9-under 207 as the Scarlet & Gray captured the MW team title. Additionally, Lewis has tallied a season-low round of 5-under three times, 14 par-or-better rounds with 12 rounds under par and four par-or-better tournament scores.
Hebert earned the league's Coach of the Year distinction in his fourth season at the helm of the storied Rebel program. This season, the Scarlet & Gray captured its first Mountain West team and individual titles of his tenure, setting program-record lows at a conference tournament for a single round (18-under 270) and 54-hole score (39-under 825) while winning a team playoff. During the 2025-26 campaign, Hebert's Rebels have totaled six top-5 team performances, including a win at NB3 Matchplay at Twin Warriors in the fall and four top-5 finishes this spring.
UP NEXT: UNLV will return to action in the postseason as the No. 8 seed at the NCAA Bryan Regional being hosted by Texas A&M from May 18-20.
