For his efforts, he was named to the second team All-SAC squad. Last season he led the team in rebounding on 14 occasions while posting five double-double games (pts-rebs).

Humphries is one of two players on the preseason All-American team from the South Atlantic Conference with Lenoir-Rhyne’s Daniel Willis also being selected.
