NABC Announces KSU 2021-22 Academic Awards

NABC Announces KSU 2021-22 Academic Awards
Posted By: Kennedy Williams on August 02, 2022

The National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) named six Thorobreds to the NABC Honors Court, and as a team, they earned the NABC Team Academic Awards.

The NABC Team Academic Excellence Awards recognize men's basketball programs that completed the 2021-22 academic year with a team GPA of 3.0 or higher. The NABC Honors Court, meanwhile, includes junior, senior, and graduate student men's basketball players who finished the 2021-22 year with a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or higher.

Over 2,000 players earned spots on the NABC Honors Court, six of those are from Kentucky State, and the Thorobreds were one of the over 300 programs that received NABC Team Academic Excellence Awards for 2021-22.

The NABC's academic awards include honorees from all levels of college basketball.

"Academic success is a core value of the NABC and a priority shared by men's basketball programs across the country," said NABC Executive Director Craig Robinson.



"Excellence in the classroom requires hard work and dedication, and the NABC considers it a privilege to honor these deserving student-athletes and the coaches and staff who support them."

NABC Honors Court
Cyriaque Foucart, Political Science, Sr.
Delvonte McCloud, Physical Education, Jr.
Elijiah Lockhart, Business Management, Jr.
Ifeoluwa Shoyoye, Computer Science, Sr.
Josh Wilkerson, Communications, Sr.
Joshua Cross, Psychology, Jr.

Head Coach Jamaal Jackson said, "I'm very proud of our young men for their academic achievements this past year. We preach to our guys to control what you can control, and they definitely stayed on the ball academically despite so many distractions. To receive this team award for three consecutive years means that we've built a culture in which our guys recognize the importance of their academic success, and that's something that we're proud of."
