DAVIS, Calif. - Corey Hawkins became the first UC Davis men's basketball player named All-American by the Associated Press when the organization selected him to its Honorable Mention list on Monday.

Hawkins joins Dante Ross as the only Aggies in the 104-year history of the program to earn All-America accolades. Ross received fourth team recognition in 1998 and two second team selections the following year from other media outlets.

UC Davis' first-ever Big West Player of the Year led his team to a 25-7 overall record, the program's first-ever Big West championship and inaugural Division I postseason appearance this past season when the Aggies faced the Stanford Cardinal in the National Invitation Tournament.

By capturing his second league scoring title in the last three seasons, Hawkins helped UC Davis record 25 overall, 14 home, 14 conference, 11 non-conference and 10 road victories - all new school records.

In addition to receiving Big West Player of the Year and first team league honors earlier this month, Hawkins was also named to the Big West Conference's all-tournament team.

Shortly thereafter, the Goodyear, Ariz., native became the first Aggie in the team's Div. I history to receive All-District IX awards from the U.S. Basketball Writers Association and National Association of Basketball Coaches, and earned additional All-America honors when he was named a finalist for the Lou Henson Award - presented to the top Division I mid-major player in the country.

By finishing his senior season with a .488 percentage from distance, Hawkins is the first Aggie in the program's Division I history to collect a national three-point title. In addition to this three-point shooting prowess, he also held the nation's seventh-highest individual scoring average (20.9 ppg) and 26th-highest three-point field goals made per game mark (2.89). 

Besides his three top-30 national numbers, Hawkins also posted top totals in 10 different Big West statistical categories, and ended his three-year career at UC Davis as school's all-time No. 2 scorer with 1,694 points 

Hawkins will return to the court on Thursday as one of six sharpshooters who will vie for this year's collegiate 3-point crown. ESPN will air the State Farm Slam Dunk and 3-Point Championships live starting at 4 p.m. (PT).
