CLEVELAND – Seattle University men's basketball junior forward Kobe Williamson has been named to the 2024 Division I-AAA Athletics Directors Association (DI-AAA ADA) Scholar-Athlete Team.
Williamson, a Melbourne, Australia, native, enjoyed a breakout season on the court, averaging career highs of 8.9 points and 5.7 rebounds per game. During the year, he became the program's all-time leader in blocks and hit a pair of game-winning shots as the Redhawks earned a third consecutive 20-win season that culminated in the 2024 Ro College Basketball Invitational (CBI) Championship. In the classroom, he is pursuing his undergraduate degree in biochemistry.
This marks the third individual academic honor this season for Williamson. He was also named 2023-24 College Sports Communicators Academic All-District Team and the 2023-24 Western Athletic Conference All-Academic Team.
