Arizona wing Bennedict Mathurin is officially an All-American.

The Associated Press released its All-America teams Tuesday, and Mathurin was named to the second team, joining Gonzaga’s Drew Timme and Chet Holmgren, Purdue’s Jaden Ivey and Auburn’s Jabari Smith Jr.

Mathurin missed out on AP’s first team, which consists of Kentucky’s Oscar Tshiebwe, Wisconsin’s Johnny Davis, Kansas’ Ochai Agbaji, Illinois’ Kofi Cockburn and Iowa’s Keegan Murray.

Former Arizona point guard James Akinjo, now at Baylor, was named to AP’s third team.
