FORT WORTH, Texas –– The University of Tulsa graduate senior guard Darien Jackson was named the winner of the American Athletic Conference Sportsmanship Award for men's basketball, the league office announced today.

It's the second major conference award in as many years for Jackson as he was the recipient of The American's Sixth Man of the Year Award in 2020-21. Jackson is the first Tulsa player to receive the Sportsmanship Award, given to the player who exemplifies the ideals of sportsmanship on and off the court, as voted on by the AAC coaches.

"Darien is a great ambassador for the Tulsa basketball program and our university" Golden Hurricane Head Coach Frank Haith said.
