FORT WORTH, Texas - Senior Brandon Parrish was named a nominee for the 2017 Allstate NABC Good Works Team® Wednesday morning.
Parrish, who during the summer traveled to South Africa to work on a Rhino Conservation, has played in all six games this season, averaging 9.3 points per game and 4.2 rebounds per contest. Earlier this month, Parrish scored a season-high 20 points against Jacksonville State. He currently ranks No. 6 in the Big 12 Conference in 3-point field goal percentage, shooting 46 percent from behind the arc.
The Allstate NABC Good Works Team® recognizes players at all levels of college basketball whose charitable involvement and altruistic acts stand out amongst all other student-athletes participating in the sport. The players nominated embody the true spirit of teamwork and giving back.
Athletic departments and sports information directors across the country nominated the 181 NABC and the 97 WBCA student-athletes for the prestigious honor. Two special voting panels, headlined by former Duke University basketball athlete, two-time NCAA® champion and seven-time NBA All-Star Grant Hill, and former Notre Dame basketball star, two-time Nancy Lieberman Award winner and current WNBA player Skylar Diggins, will select 10-member teams from both the NABC and WBCA, comprised of five student-athletes from the NCAA Division I level and five student-athletes from Divisions II, III and the NAIA.
The final roster of 20 award recipients will be unveiled in February.
