A trio of Wright State men's basketball student-athletes were named to the 2023-24 NABC Honors Court, the NABC announced recently.
Current Raiders Brandon Noel (Lucasville, Ohio/Chillicothe HS), Keaton Norris (Hilliard, Ohio/Hilliard Bradley HS) and Braden Grant (Beavercreek, Ohio/Beavercreek HS) each earned Honors Court recognition for their work in the classroom.
The NABC Honors Court includes junior, senior and graduate student men's basketball players who finished the 2023-24 year with a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or higher and includes honorees from all levels of college basketball.
"The NABC is proud to celebrate these accomplished student-athletes, along with the coaches and staff who champion success in the classroom," said NABC Executive Director Craig Robinson. "Education is a core value of the NABC, and the teams and athletes who earned these awards are proof that academic achievement remains a priority across every level of our sport."
For his efforts in the classroom, Noel was named to his second straight Horizon League all-academic team, while he was one of four Raiders to earn his undergraduate degree in April during Wright State's spring commencement.
