STANFORD, Calif. - Senior tri-captains Anthony Brown, Stefan Nastic and Chasson Randle have been named to the Pac-12 All-Academic team, as announced by Commissioner Larry Scott.
It’s the fifth straight season Stanford has been honored with at least three picks. The Cardinal has totaled the most selections of any conference school for five of the seven seasons under head coach Johnny Dawkins.
Randle was named to the first team and is a three-time recipient, having earned second-team honors each of the last two seasons. Fifth-year seniors Brown and Nastic were tabbed to the second team and have now been recognized four consecutive seasons. Brown received first-team recognition in 2014 after two seasons of honorable mention status. Nastic was appointed to the second team during the last two seasons and received honorable mention accolades in 2012.
The senior trio has been determined to succeed academically, with each starter currently completing coursework toward their master’s degrees and exhibiting strong leadership. On the court, they have accounted for 65.5 percent of Stanford’s scoring and 45.8 percent of the team’s rebounding.
Brown (communication major, 3.26 undergraduate GPA), a fifth-year senior, is working toward a coterminal M.A. in the media studies program. Nastic (psychology major, 3.10 undergraduate GPA) is progressing toward a coterminal M.A. in the communication program. Randle (African and African-American studies major, 3.34 undergraduate GPA) is set to complete both his undergraduate degree and master’s degree in four years and been accepted into the department of psychology’s master’s program.
Stanford has produced 63 all-time All-Academic selections, the most of any conference school since the inception of the award in 1985-86. Washington State ranks second, having totaled 31 honorees.
