BATON ROUGE – Brandon Sampson was named the LSU representative on the 2016-17 men’s basketball Southeastern Conference Community Service Team.
The team recognizes the accomplishments of student-athletes beyond the field of competition.
This marks the 19th year for the SEC Community Service Team for men's basketball as well as for women's basketball. All 21 league-sponsored sports have had a Community Service Team since 2004, with at-large teams for men's and women's sports being chosen from 1999-2003. The SEC began this concept with a football Community Service Team in 1994.
Sampson, a sophomore from Baton Rouge, was involved in projects around Baton Rouge regarding the flood relief in the area.
