The Associated Press announced the 2022-23 All-America teams on Tuesday.

Indiana's Trayce Jackson-Davis landed on the first team after averaging 20.8 points, 10.9 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 2.7 blocks – all career-high numbers – during his senior season. 

Heading into the NCAA Tournament, on a per-game basis, Jackson-Davis is 16th in the nation in scoring, seventh in rebounding, sixth in blocked shots, 27th in field goal percentage and 129th in assists.

During Indiana's Big Ten Tournament semifinal loss to Penn State, Jackson-Davis passed Don Schlundt for third place on Indiana's all-time scoring list. Earlier in the year, he became the first player in Indiana history to score 2,000 points and grab 1,000 rebounds. He will also graduate as the school's all-time leading rebounder and shot blocker.
