BYU men's basketball is making waves both on and off the court, leading the Big 12 with seven players earning spots on the Winter 2024 Academic All-Big 12 Team, as announced on Tuesday.
Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark praised the academic achievements, highlighting the balance between athletic and academic excellence: “We are thrilled to honor Big 12 student-athletes for their academic success,” said Yorkmark. “These individuals have achieved greatness both on the field and in their academic pursuits. I would like to congratulate each and every one of our Academic All-Big 12 and Commissioner’s Honor Roll recipients.
The Cougars tied with Kansas for most in the league, including Dallin Hall , Trevin Knell , Jared McGregor , Richie Saunders , Trey Stewart , and Fousseyni Traore . Spencer Johnson earned second-team honors. First-team members maintained a GPA of 3.20 or higher, while second-team selections had GPAs between 3.00 and 3.19. Eligibility required a GPA of 3.00 or above and participation in 20% of team contests, excluding freshmen and first-year transfers.
The recognition underscores BYU's commitment to excellence in both academics and athletics, setting a high standard within the Big 12.
