Surles was one of the greatest scorers in GW men's basketball program history. After averaging 6.3 points off the bench as a freshman in 1989-90, the 6-foot-3 guard led the team in scoring in each of his final three seasons, teaming with classmate Sonni Holland to help revive the GW program with a pair of postseason appearances. He averaged a team-high 14.4 points as a sophomore as GW reached the NIT in 1990-91, then a career-best 19.9 points and 67 three-pointers to earn First Team All-Atlantic 10 and Team MVP honors as a junior in 1991-92. Surles then paced the team with 14.5 points, 51 threes and 36 steals as a senior in 1992-93, claiming Second Team All-Atlantic 10 accolades along with freshman sensation Yinka Dare in helping the Colonials to their lone NCAA Sweet 16 appearance. Surles is in the top 10 all-time at GW in both career points (9th, 1,607) and steals (8th, 132).
