James Washington can’t stop winning awards. Last week, he became Oklahoma State’s 40th All-American. This week, he became Oklahoma State’s 13th consensus All-American. And on Wednesday, he will likely become Oklahoma State’s 8th unanimous All-American.
What do all of those terms mean? I’m glad you asked.
There are the five organizations that make up the consensus and unanimous selections. They all create their own All-American lists so you could feasibly be on one but not the other. If you’re on one of them, you’re an All-American. If you’re on three of them, you’re considered a consensus All-American.
