You’ve heard of AP All-Americans. They’re given to the most outstanding players in a given sport.
Other publications will also hand out All-American honors using the same criteria.
Most have also heard of Academic All-Americans, those who prove to be the best both in the classroom and on the field or court.
But it’s doubtful that you’ve ever heard of NSCA All-Americans. BYU basketball’s Dalton Nixon has earned that honor for the 2017-18 season.
NSCA stands for the National Strength and Conditioning Association. They award All-American honors to high school and college athletes from numerous sports, including basketball.
