Despite starting the season off the bench, Abson finished the year with 23 starts and set a career-high with 16 points against Marshall University.

He also led the team in rebounds and scored 13 against South Alabama. Abson also shot 60.6 percent from the field after leading North Broward Prep to the Regional Semifinals as a senior and finished the year with 16.8 points and 12 rebounds per game.
