Arkansas sophomore guard BJ Young and junior forward Marshawn Powell were each voted second-team all-Southeastern Conference players by league coaches on Tuesday.
This year marks the first time since the 2005-06 season that the Razorbacks have placed multiple players on the all-SEC team, and just the ninth time ever.
Young leads the Razorbacks in scoring with 15.1 points per game. In just two seasons, he has racked up 942 career points and his 47.5 shooting percentage in SEC games ranks 10th all-time.
Powell is second in scoring with 14.5 points and leads the team with 5.3 rebounds per game. He became the 35th member of the 1,000-point club at Arkansas in late December.
Both players have earned SEC all-Freshman team awards in previous years – Powell in 2010 and Young in 2012 – making them the eighth and ninth players in Razorback history to accomplish the task.
