Georgia’s Anthony Edwards was named second-team mid-season All-America by The Sporting News on Thursday. Edwards was the only SEC player featured on the organization’s three, five-player teams.
Edwards, who is a 6-5, 225-pound and from Atlanta, is the nation’s leading scoring freshman and the only first-year player currently ranked among the top-50 scorers in Division I. His 19.1 ppg scoring average is No. 46 nationally and No. 2 in the SEC. Edwards has posted eight 20-point outputs in the Bulldogs’ 16 games to date, including a career-high 37 points against No. 3 Michigan State in the Maui Jim Maui Invitational.
