FORT WORTH, Tex. – Temple senior captain J.P. Moorman II was named the winner of the American Athletic Conference Sportsmanship Award while sophomore Khalif Battle earned a spot on the league's Third Team all-conference and redshirt freshman Damian Dunn was tabbed as a member of the AAC All-Rookie team as the league announced its year-end awards today.
Moorman, a two-year captain for the Owls, is the first Temple player to win the AAC Sportsmanship Award. The Greensboro, N.C. native exemplifies the ideal of true sportsmanship on and off the court. The 6-7 forward has been one of the most active and engaged student-athletes in terms of speaking out about social injustice, and is a member of Temple's newly-formed student-athlete group, Owls4Justice, and is also a member of the AAC's Racial Equality Action Group.
