HOUSTON – Texas Southern University basketball player Jeremy Combs earned Honorable Mention from the Associated Press as it released its All-American teams last week.
Â
Combs, a 6-foot-7 graduate transfer from Dallas (North Texas/LSU) led the Tigers with averages of 17.6 points and 9.3 rebounds per game during the 2018-19 season. He led the Southwestern Athletic Conference in rebounding and was named the conference's Player of the Year and Newcomer of the Year.
Â
He was one of 38 players to receive Honorable Mention from the AP. The AP also placed 15 players on its Division I All-American First, Second, and Third teams.
Â
Combs was also named to the BOXTOROW Division I All-American First Team. BOXTOROW's All-American Teams are comprised of players from historically black colleges and universities that compete at the NCAA's Division I classification.
Â
The honors are just the latest for Combs, who was a dominant force for the Tigers throughout the season. He was named the SWAC's Player of the Week five times during the season; he earned that award four weeks in a row during the month of February.
