Indiana senior point guard Yogi Ferrell was named Third Team All-American by the National Association of Basketball Coaches.
Ferrell finished his college career as IU’s all-time assist leader (663) and sixth all-time leading scorer (1,986) after averaging 17.3 points and 5.6 assists as a senior.
Ferrell won two outright Big Ten titles and played on two teams that reached the Sweet Sixteen during his IU career.
Ferrell has 195 assists as a senior, just shy of Isiah Thomas’ single-season school record of 197.
Ferrell also was named to the 10-player Wooden Award All-American team.
All 10 members of the Wooden team have at least a cumulative 2.0 grade point average and are making progress toward graduation, components of the award that were insisted upon by Wooden, according to The Associated Press.
On Tuesday, Ferrell was named Third Team All-American by the AP.
Indiana coach Tom Crean said today in a radio interview with JMV on 1070 The Fan in Indianapolis that this morning he spoke with an NBA general manger about Ferrell.

Ferrell today also had a heartfelt message for Indiana fans today on social media.
Here is what the former Indianapolis Park Tudor star said on Instagram:
"As I look back at the 4 years I have had at Indiana University, I can think about how Hoosier nation has treated me not only as a basketball player, but as a person as well. The love and support I have received these past 4 years have been something special and I'm forever grateful to have played for such a historic university.
"I gave everything I had all 4 years day in and day out because I wanted to learn, adapt, and grow. That's why to come up short this year hurts but I'm proud of this team because we showed a will and resiliency that was unlike any other team I've played with. All the teammates I have had are my brothers for life and I am fortunate to have the friendships I have made.
"Through all the ups and downs I can say that I've become a better man and a better player. The best memories of my life have been playing for this university. I'm proud to say I am a Hoosier for life."
