BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Senior All-Big Ten guard Kevin "Yogi" Ferrell has been named second team Preseason All-American by the Sporting News.
A first-team NABC and USBWA All-District selection last season, Ferrell was sixth in the Big Ten averaging 16.3 points and was fourth in assists at 4.9. He also has made a three-pointer in 65 consecutive games, the longest active streak in the nation.
Ferrell, 6-0, and a native of Indianapolis, ranks 22nd on the school's all-time scoring list with 1,379 points, sixth in career assists at 438 and fourth in 3-point field goals made with 193. All three of those totals will make him the Big Ten's active leader in those categories entering his final season.
The Hoosiers have been ranked anywhere from No. 4 nationally to No. 17 in the many preseason polls that have been put out since the end last season. IU returns four starters from a team which led the Big Ten in scoring and earned an NCAA Tournament berth in 2014-15.
He needs to play in 34 games and start 29 to become the all-time IU leader in both categories. Former teammate Jordan Hulls played in 135 games from 2010-13, another former teammate Christian Watford started 130 games from 2010-13 as did Calbert Cheaney from 1990-93. Cheaney was the Director of Operations for IU during Ferrell's freshman campaign. Ferrell has played and started in 102 games.
