Western Kentucky senior forward Justin Johnson has been named one of five members of the 2017-18 Senior CLASS Award First Team, the first such selection in the history of Hilltopper basketball.
Johnson – a 6-foot-7 native of Hazard – was already the first member of the 10-finalist group for the award in program history.
He was joined on the first team by Navy’s Shawn Anderson, North Dakota State’s A.J. Jacobson, Georgia’s Yante Maten and West Virginia’s Jevon Carter, who won the Senior CLASS Award.
To be eligible for the award, student-athletes must be classified as NCAA Division I seniors and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence: community, classroom, character and competition.
