Luke Maye
Maye A Candidate For Senior CLASS Award
November 30, 2018 | Men's Basketball
CHAPEL HILL–North Carolina's Luke Maye is among 30 NCAA men's basketball student-athletes who excel both on and off the court selected as candidates today for the 2018-19 Senior CLASS Award. To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence: community, classroom, character and competition.Â
Â
An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School , the Senior CLASS Award focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their platform in athletics to make a positive impact as leaders in their communities.Â
Maye earned second-team Academic All-America honors while also winning the Skip Prosser Award as the Atlantic Coast Conference's top basketball student-athlete in 2017-18. He is a three-time Academic All-ACC pick.
Â
Among the 60 total candidates (30 male and 30 female), all are in excellent academic standing with 13 having grade-point averages of 3.5 or higher. Twenty-five athletes are returning to the court this season after receiving All-America honors, and 54 of the candidates earned all-conference honors for their performances a year ago. Each of the candidates also volunteers his or her time with charitable organizations and causes while upholding a reputation for positive character on campus and in the community.
Â
The men's and women's candidates will be narrowed to two fields of 10 finalists in February, and those names will be placed on the official ballot. Ballots will be distributed through a nationwide voting system to media, coaches and fans, who will select one male candidate and one female candidate who best exemplifies excellence in the four C's of community, classroom, character and competition.Â
Â
The Senior CLASS Award winners will be announced during the 2019 NCAA Final Four this spring. For more information on each of the candidates, visit seniorCLASSaward.com.
