He adds 41 steals and one block, and is the team leader in points (473), scoring average, field goals, field goal attempts, three-point attempts, free throws, free throw attempts, free throw percentage, assists (85), steals and minutes (864). Brazil has scored a career-high 34 points this season, equaled his career-high with eight rebounds (two times), had season-highs of eight assists and four steals (two times), equaled his career-high with one block, had a career-high seven (7-11) three-pointers and has played a career-high 39 minutes (two times).

Brazil had previously been named to the Trevor Hudgins Award Top 25 Watch List and the Bevo Francis Award Top 50 Watch List, as well as the United States Basketball Writers Association (USBWA) Division III National Player of the Week one time, to the D3hoops.com Team of the Week two times, the ODAC Offensive Player of the Week four times, and was also named to the All-Tournament Team for both the Hampden-Sydney Tip-Off Tournament (11/22-23) and the Charlie Cobb Classic (12/20-21).

Considerations for the Trevor Hudgins Award include overall career statistics and achievements, team achievements, awards, and personal character. The player must have played his entire career at the small college level. This will be the highest award given to a four-year player within Small College Basketball. Brazil is the only ODAC player on The Top 15 Watch List, while Jahn Hines of Christopher Newport University is the only other player from Virginia on the list, among six Division III players among the Top 15.
