BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Vanderbilt junior guard Jason Edwards was named a third-team All-SEC selection by the league office on Monday.
Edwards leads the Commodores, averaging 16.9 points per game this season. He finished seventh in the SEC in scoring while reaching double figures in 16-of-18 SEC contests. Edwards finished with 20 or more points in six SEC games and posted a season-high 30 points against TCU in the Coast-to-Coast Challenge.
The junior is Vandy’s first All-SEC selection since Liam Robbins in 2023. Edwards has scored 524 points this season, sixth in the SEC. He ranks third in the league with 137 made free throws while hitting on 84 percent of his opportunities at the charity stripe.
Edwards helped the Commodores to a 20-11 overall mark this season, including four wins over top 15 teams. The quartet of top 15 victories marked the most for Vanderbilt since 1987-88.
Vanderbilt will begin its run at the SEC Tournament on Wednesday in a 2:30 p.m. tip against Texas at Bridgestone Arena.
