Indiana's Jackson-Davis, Hood-Schifino, Kopp Honored by Big Ten

Indiana's Trayce Jackson-Davis was a unanimous first-team All-Big Ten selection by both the coaches and the media on Tuesday, and also was named to the all-defensive team. Jalen Hood-Schifino was named Freshman of the Year, and Miller Kopp won the league's sportsmanship award.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — The Big Ten released its men's basketball awards on Tuesday and Indiana, which finished tied for second in league play, was well represented, with three Hoosiers honored.

Indiana senior forward Trayce Jackson-Davis, freshman point guard Jalen Hood-Schifino and senior forward Miller Kopp all received awards from league coaches and media.

Jackson-Davis was one of two players — Zach Edey of Purdue was the other —  that were unanimously selected to the All-Big Ten First Team by both the coaches and the media. Jackson-Davis was also named to the five-player All-Defensive Team. Edey was selected as Player of the Year.

Hood-Schifino was named the Big Ten's Freshman of the Year, and Kopp was selected as Indiana's Sportsmanship Award honoree.

Jackson-Davis' first-team honor comes a season after earning second-team accolades a year ago as a junior. Following his sophomore campaign, he was tabbed an All-Big Ten First Team performer by the media and a second team choice by the coaches. He was a third-team honoree in 2020 and was included on the All-Freshman Team after his rookie season.

The last Hoosier to be named to an All-Big Ten Team in four-straight seasons since Yogi Ferrell from 2013 to 2016). He is the first Hoosier since Victor Oladipo (2012-13) to be named to the All-Defensive team in consecutive seasons.

The Greenwood, Ind. native averaged 20.5 points (tied for second in the Big Ten), 11.0 rebounds (second), 3.9 assists (seventh), and 2.8 blocks (first) per game. Jackson-Davis finished second in the league with 16 double-doubles. He produced 21.8 points (second), 12.4 rebounds (second), 4.7 assists (fifth), and 2.9 blocks (firstr) per game in 20 conference games this season. Indiana went 12-8 and finished tied with Northwestern for second place.

During his senior season, Jackson-Davis moved into fourth on the Indiana all-time scoring list (2,163) and broke the school records in both career rebounding (1,105) and blocked shots (255). He ranks fourth in career double-doubles (48). He is the fifth player in Big Ten history to record 2,000 points and 1,000 rebounds.

Hood-Schifino was named the Big Ten Freshman of the Year by both the coaches and the media, an award not won by a Hoosier since Noah Vonleh in 2014. The Pittsburgh, Pa., native also picked up enough votes to be named to the All-Big Ten Second Team by the media and the third team by the coaches.

Hood-Schifino averaged 13.4 points (third among Big Ten freshmen), 4.1 rebounds (fifth), 3.8 assists (second), 0.9 steals (third), and 1.2 made three-pointers (seventh) per contest this season. His scoring average increased to 14.9 points (second) per game in conference games.

Kopp was selected as the Big Ten Sportsmanship Award Honoree for Indiana. In his final start at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall, Kopp broke the Big Ten record for conference games played with 99. He was one of three Hoosiers to appear in all 31 games this season and the only player to appear in the starting lineup each game. The Houston native averaged 7.9 points per game and made a team-best 56 3-pointers.
