NORFOLK, Va. — Norfolk State men's basketball standout Anthony McComb III has been selected to participate in the 2026 HBCU All-Star Game, recognizing him as one of the top players across Historically Black Colleges and Universities. 

The prestigious showcase will take place on Sunday, April 5, at Corteva Coliseum in Indianapolis, Indiana, featuring 24 of the nation's top HBCU student-athletes competing on teams named after NBA legends Bob Dandridge and Sam Jones. 

McComb will represent the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) as part of Team Bob Dandridge, which is comprised of standout players from the MEAC, SIAC and select independent programs. The event will air live on the Wish Television Network and stream on the BET Fast Channel. 

A First Team All-MEAC selection and BOXTOROW All-America honoree, McComb turned in a dominant senior campaign for the Spartans, leading the conference in total points while ranking among the league leaders in scoring, minutes played, and perimeter shooting. He posted 28 double-figure scoring games, including nine 20-point performances, serving as the engine behind Norfolk State's postseason push. 

McComb's selection to the HBCU All-Star Game adds to an impressive list of accolades during the 2025-26 season and further highlights his impact on one of the MEAC's top programs under head coach Robert Jones. 

The HBCU All-Star Game, now in its fifth year, is designed to provide exposure, access, and opportunity for elite HBCU student-athletes while celebrating Black excellence in college basketball. The event brings together the best talent from across 48 participating institutions and serves as a premier stage during college basketball's championship weekend.
