Over Markus Howard’s career, he has accumulated a plethora of awards from being the 2019 unanimous BIG EAST Player of the Year to an Associated Press and Consensus First Team All-American. But Howard was given one of the most prestigious awards of his career Tuesday morning, being named the 2019-20 Senior CLASS Award winner for NCAA Division I men’s basketball.
Marquette’s outside hitter Allie Barber was named as a finalist in the fall for the volleyball award, but Howard is the first Golden Eagle in any sport to win the award.
“Markus Howard has spent four years demonstrating how he embodies all elements of the Senior CLASS Award,” Erik Miner, Executive Director of the Senior CLASS Award said in a statement.
