A former college teammate of current Hawk Travis Hansen, Araujo had a solid final two seasons at B.Y.U., after transferring from Arizona Western College. In 30 games this season, Araujo posted 18.4 points per game (shooting an outstanding 57.3 percent from the floor) and 10.1 rebounds per game, playing in 30 games. The 6-11, 280-pound prospect earned Mountain West Conference Co-Player of the Year honors and led the Cougars to their second consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance. He also garnered Associated Press All-America honorable mention honors.
