UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Penn State senior forward Lamar Stevens has been named to the U.S. Basketball Writers Association All-District team as announced by the organization on Tuesday, March 10. The two-time first-team All-Big Ten Conference selection picked up his second All-District honor in 2020.
From Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Stevens is the second Nittany Lion to earn honors in two seasons since the USBWA began its All-District award program.
Stevens has helped lead Penn State to 21 wins in 2019-20 and is part of the winningest senior class in its Big Ten era with 76 overall victories. He is currently second on Penn State all-time scoring list with 2,207 points and owns the records for most field goals with 801 and most career starts with 135.
