Jalen Pickett is no stranger to honors.
Before transferring to Penn State prior to last season, the 6-foot-4 guard was named both the MAAC Rookie of the Year and Player of the Year during his time at Siena.
Now, it’s the Big Ten who has lauded Pickett, naming him as the lone Nittany Lion to the 12-man preseason all-conference team chosen by media that was announced Thursday.
Pickett led the Nittany Lions in scoring (13.3 points per game), assists (135) and steals (35) as Penn State went 14-17 in its first year under head coach Micah Shrewsberry.
