KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Penn State Harrisburg men's basketball player Donyae Baylor-Carroll has been named an All-American by the National Basketball Coaches Association (NABC).

 

Baylor-Carroll was named to the NABC All-America Second Team. He is the first player in program history to earn all-America accolades of any kind. 

 

Baylor-Carroll turned in an historic senior campaign, averaging 18.6 points, 5.2 assists, four rebounds, and 3.5 steals per game. He recently secured first-team all-region recognition from the NABC and D3hoops.com for his efforts. He was also selected to the NABC – Reese's Division III College All-Star Game after being tabbed the United East Volt Division Player of the Year, the United East Volt Division Defensive Player of the Year, and an all-conference first-team honoree. 

 

In addition to his offensive prowess, the versatile guard was also stellar on the defensive end, leading the nation in steals per game and total steals (105). The Harrisburg, Pa. native also ranked eighth in the country in total assists (155) and 24th in total points (557). Earlier this month, the sharpshooter sealed Penn State Harrisburg's thrilling NCAA Tournament victory over Hood when he buried the game-winning jump shot with 36 seconds to play. The team captain recorded three double-doubles this season and was named the United East Championship Tournament MVP after averaging 29.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, 6.7 assists, and 6.3 steals across three playoff victories. He was twice named to the D3hoops.com National Team of the Week and earned eight United East Volt Division Player of the Week plaudits, including four offensive player of the week honors and four defensive player of the week accolades. 

 

Earlier this winter, Baylor-Carroll became the program's all-time leading scorer (1,973 points). He also holds program records for 3-point field goals (352) and steals (261). One of the most productive players of his era, he finished his career as the NCAA Division III active 3-point leader while ranking second in steals, third in assists (474), fourth in points, and sixth in free throws (417).
