DAYTONA BEACH, FLA. -  Jose Fernandez of B-CU Baseball has been named Wildcats of the Week for the week of April 28 - May 4, 2025. 

ose Fernandez played a massive part of a three-game series sweep of No. 1 seed Bethune-Cookman over No. 2 seed Alabama State this weekend. In three games, he collected four hits, two runs scored, four RBI, a double, a walk, and his first homer of the season. After coming in as a pinch hitter in game one, Fernandez's RBI single in the bottom of the ninth walked off the Hornets to open the series with a win and erase an Alabama State lead of as much as five. 

Each week, The Bethune-Cookman Office of Athletic Communications recognizes one male and one female student-athlete through the Wildcats of the Week award.

This award recognizes student-athletes who have excelled in competition, in the classroom, and in the community over the past week, exemplifying the Championship Culture of Wildcat Athletics.
