Norfolk State's Jamerson Collects NABC All-District Honors

NORFOLK, Va. – Norfolk State senior guard Derrik Jamerson Jr. earned a spot on the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) All-District Team when the organization announced its postseason honors for Division I basketball on Thursday.
 
Jamerson was voted to the All-District 15 Second Team, giving the Spartans their first honoree since 2017. It comes on the heels of his selection to the All-MEAC Second Team this season.
 
A native of Detroit, Mich., Jamerson leads the nation in 3-point field goal percentage at 51.4. He is averaging 10.7 points and 3.9 rebounds per game while shooting 51 percent overall and 91 percent from the free throw line. He was named MEAC Player of the Week on Jan. 15 and also earned a spot on the Sun Bowl Invitational All-Tournament Team in December.
 
The NABC All-District 15 team consists of players from the MEAC. Voting was done by member coaches of the NABC. Norfolk State's last honorees were Jonathan Wade (First Team) and Zaynah Robinson (Second Team) two seasons ago.
 
After upsetting No. 1 seed Alabama in the NIT first round on Wednesday, 80-79 in overtime, No. 8 seed Norfolk State will take on fourth-seeded Colorado on Monday at 9 p.m. EST.
