COOKEVILLE, Tenn.--Willie Jenkins was voted by coaches and media
alike as the top player in the Ohio Valley Conference this past
season. Now he has been recognized nationally as one of the
top players in the country, as he was named honorable mention on
the 2004-05 AP All-America Team.
The award is yet another for Jenkins to add to his trophy case, as
along with being named the OVC's Player of the Year, he was also
awarded to the NABC All-District First Team in the past month.
Other honors included twice being named the Ohio Valley Conference
player of the week, and the pre-season player of the year. He
finished his junior season by winning the Newcomer of the Year
award after transferring from UMASS.
Jenkins helped lead Tech to the regular season championship with a
12-4 mark in league play, its third in the last five seasons, and
the #1 seed in the 2005 O'Reilly OVC Tournament.
He finished his career at TTU as the top scoring two-year player
in school history, scoring 1,116 points in just two seasons, which
is good for 21st on the school's all-time scoring list. As a
senior, Jenkins averaged nearly 20 ppg and just under seven
rebounds.
