Kam Jones Consensus Second Team All-America Selection

Marquette guard Kam Jones has earned Consensus Second Team All-America honors after being named to both the NABC and USBWA All-America teams on Wednesday morning.

The Memphis native earned NABC Division I All-America Second Team accolades and was tabbed USBWA Second Team All-America.  Earlier in the month he was named second team by the Sporting News and on Tuesday was tabbed second team by Associated Press, making him a consensus selection in a point system utilized by the NCAA.

Jones, a unanimous All-BIG EAST First Team honoree, helped guide Marquette to a 23-10 overall record and a No. 7 seed in the South Region of the NCAA tournament. MU opens play on Friday at 6:35 p.m. CT against 10th-seeded New Mexico in Cleveland, Ohio.

Tyler Kolek is the most recent player to claim consensus accolades, claiming second team in 2022-23 and first team in 2023-24.

Jones is the ninth player in Marquette history to garner consensus honors, joining Kolek, Markus Howard (2018-19 and 2019-20), Dean Meminger (1970-71), Jim Chones (1971-72), Earl Tatum (1975-76), Butch Lee (1977-78), Sam Worthen (1979-70) and Dwyane Wade (2002-03).

Only Kolek and Howard have claimed consensus accolades in back-to-back seasons.
