December 07, 2021 | Men's Basketball
by Matt Dunaway, Director/Communications
OVERLAND PARK, Kansas – Mississippi State's Garrison Brooks is one of 30 candidates for the 2021-22 Senior CLASS Award announced Tuesday.
The Senior CLASS Award recognizes candidates who excel both on and off court. To be eligible, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I senior/graduate senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence: community, classroom, character and competition.
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.
The candidates will be narrowed to two fields of ten finalists later in the season, 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 then select one male candidate and one female candidate who best exemplifies excellence in the four C's of community, classroom, character and competition.
The Senior CLASS Award winners will be announced during the 2022 NCAA Men's Final Four later this spring.
