For Randolph, who is the only player from the Southeastern Conference to earn the honor in the sport of men's basketball, it was a goal he has been working toward since the moment he walked on campus.

"I can't put into words how honored I am to earn the program's first Academic All-American award," Randolph said. "I would like to thank my family, coaches and teammates for their support during my career and helping push me - not just as a basketball player but as a student-athlete. It feels good to see the hard work I've put in both on and off the court has paid off and helped me achieve this goal. My father always told me that a person can stand on a book a lot longer than they can stand on a basketball ball and that's just always something I've lived by."

This news is certainly a bright spot in a rocky season. Grant does a good job getting quality kids and instilling discipline off the court.

That's incredibly awesome. I am very proud of Levi.
I can see him being either a great coach, or possibly a great high school administrator in some capacity.
Or maybe even a teacher.
He's a great young man!

And that right there is simply says it all. As the branch is bent, so will grow the tree......
