SALT LAKE CITY - Utah senior guard Brandon Taylor has been named to the Pac-12 All-Academic First Team for a third straight season, the league office announced on Thursday. To be eligible for selection to the academic team, a student-athlete must have a minimum 3.0 overall grade-point average and be either a starter or significant contributor.
Taylor, who was also named the league's Scholar-Athlete of they Year, was named first team selection following his sophomore and junior seasons, as well. He joins Jeremy Olsen as the only two Utes to earn Pac-12 All-Academic First Team honors on three different occasions since Utah joined the league in 2011.
