Mason Nichols Named to SEC Baseball Community Service Team
5/15/2024 | Baseball
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The Southeastern Conference released the 2024 Baseball Community Service Team Wednesday morning, naming Ole Miss junior Mason Nichols a member.
In a continuing effort to recognize the accomplishments of student-athletes beyond the field of competition, the Southeastern Conference has highlighted a Community Service Team for baseball for the 2024 season. The conference names a Community Service Team for each of its 21 league-sponsored sports, looking to highlight an athlete from each school who gives back to his community through superior service efforts.
Nichols has been very involved in the Oxford and Mississippi communities, spending his time with a multitude of different programs. He has participated in Reading with the Rebels, where he visited local elementary schools to read and engage with the children in their classrooms. He has also spent time working with Adopt-a-Basket where he assisted with the collection of over 1,300 items to make over 100 Thanksgiving holiday food baskets for the local community.
Nichols has also been a part of Feed the Sip, a food sustainability project within the Stronger Together MS Initiative, where volunteers assisted in the collection and donation of non-perishable food items that benefit elementary students within the Tunica and Quitman counties. He took part in A Night to Shine, a community-wide prom night event for members with disabilities put on by The Tim Tebow Foundation, and Hygiene Hijack where teams, coaches, and staff had the opportunity to collect hotel toiletry items that are then donated to the on-campus Violence Intervention and Prevention Services.
During the Christmas holiday, Nichols led the baseball team's participation in the Annual CASA of North Mississippi's Adopt-a-Child Christmas Program, providing foster children with Christmas gifts. He is also an active member of Ole Miss' Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.
Nichols and the Rebels will wrap up the regular season this weekend with a three-game road series at LSU.
