Two future Kentucky Wildcats have been tabbed finalists for the McDonald's All-American Game's Morgan Wootten Player of the Year Award.

Five-star forward Edrice "Bam" Adebayo and five-star shooting guard Malik Monk are two of the final five finalists for the boys' award, which will be announced March 9. The award recognizes a male and female recipient for outstanding character, leadership, and the values he embraces while being a student-athlete in the classroom and in the community.

Adebayo will join Kentucky out of High Point Christian Academy in High Point, N.C. where he has averaged 22.
