Stowell and Reed Tabbed to NABC Honors Court
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — University of Miami graduate Davon Reed and rising senior Chris Stowell were tabbed to the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) 2016-17 Honors Court, recognizing those men’s collegiate basketball student-athletes who excelled in academics during the past season, the association announced Tuesday.
Reed, from Ewing, N.J., graduated from The U with a degree in sport administration and a minor in marketing and communications.
This past season, Reed won the 2017 Skip Prosser Award, which honors the Atlantic Coast Conference’s top men’s basketball scholar-athlete. He was also on the CoSIDA Academic All-District Team and is an ACC Postgraduate Scholarship honoree. He was also named to the All-Atlantic Coast Conference Academic Men’s Basketball Team and the All-ACC Academic Honor Roll.
The 6-foot-6-inch guard concluded his four-year Miami career with 1,343 points, good for No. 16 on the Hurricanes’ all-time scoring list. He also is No. 5 in 3-point field goal percentage (39.5%) and No. 7 in 3-point field goals made (202).
Reed started 99 of 131 games played, averaging 10.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.9 steals, 0.4 blocks in 28.1 minutes. He hit 43.0 percent (438-1018) from the field, 39.5 percent (202-512) from three and 77.7 percent (265-341) from the line in his career.
Stowell, a native of Exeter, N.H., has made the Provost’s Honor Roll (minimum 3.75 GPA) in all six of his collegiate semesters, as well as earned President’s Honor Roll (4.0) accolades five times. Majoring in entrepreneurship and business technology with minors in international business and sports administration, Stowell was one of 560 students (out of 10,000 undergrads) to be named a Foote Fellow at Miami. This is a program that is offered to select incoming freshmen who have a record of curricular and co-curricular distinction in high school and exhibit an interest in and capacity for independent and self-motivated learning.
The rising senior was also named to the All-ACC Academic Honor Roll, and on March 31 Stowell was tapped into the elite Omicron Delta Kappa (ODK) National Leadership Society
