SFA senior is one of seven Southland Conference student-athletes on the list
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - On Tuesday afternoon, the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) announced its 2016-17 Honors Court and on the list of names was former SFA men's basketball player Dallas Cameron.
Each year the NABC Honors Court recognizes those men's collegiate basketball student-athletes who excelled in academics during the past season. The NABC Honors Court recognizes the talents and gifts that these men possess off the court and the hard work they exhibit in the classroom.
Before graduating from SFA last May with a degree in mass communication, Cameron put the finishing touches on one of the best Lumberjack basketball careers ever. The Pompano Beach, Fla., product finished his days a collegian with 107 wins - the fourth-highest total by any player in the history of the program - and helped SFA capture three-straight Southland Conference regular season titles (2013-14, 2014-15, 2015-16).
This past season, Cameron was one of just two 'Jacks who started each and every one of the team's 33 games. He averaged eight points, 1.7 rebounds and led the team with 95 assists (2.9 per game). Other academic honors for Cameron in 2016-17 included a spot on the 2017 Southland Conference Commissioner's Honor Roll and SFA's lone senior this past season was one of seven Southland Conference student-athletes who earned spots on the NABC Honors Court.
In order to be named to the Honors Court, a student-athlete must meet a high standard of academic criteria. The qualifications include being a junior or senior academically and a varsity player, possessing a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.2 or higher at the conclusion of the 2016-17 academic year, being enrolled at least one year at their current institution and a being a member of an NCAA Division I, II, III, or NAIA Division I or II institution with a NABC member coach.
