PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Senior forward DaQuan Jeffries was named third-team American Athletic Conference in a vote by the league's head coaches, the conference office announced on Monday. Jeffries is the fourth TU player to earn all-conference honors since the Golden Hurricane joined The American prior to the 2014-15 season.
Jeffries leads the Golden Hurricane in scoring (13.0 ppg), rebounding (5.7 rpg), blocks (1.2 bpg) and steals (1.0 spg) and he is the only player in the conference to lead his team in all four categories.
The Edmond, Okla., native has started all 30 games that he has played, and he has scored in double-figures 21 times with five games of at least 20 points, to go along with a pair of double-doubles.
