MUNCIE, Ind. -- For overcoming tragedy. For championing those with special needs. For openly battling depression and helping others to do the same. For all that and more, Trey Moses will be presented the NCAA's Inspiration Award.
The former Ball State center, now in his first year of professional basketball, was announced Tuesday as one of two award recipients who will be recognized in January during the NCAA's annual convention in Anaheim, California. The other recipient is four-time Super Bowl champion and Vietnam veteran Rocky Bleier.
Despite scoring more than 1,000 career points, competing for two 20-win teams and playing more games than anyone in BSU history, Moses' four years in Muncie were marked more by his impact on others than his accomplishments on the court.
