FAIRBORN — Wright State’s Trey Calvin has been recognized by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) as a first team all-district performer, the organization announced Tuesday.

The All-District honors are voted on by NABC-member coaches across NCAA Division I. This is Calvin’s second straight all-district recognition after being named a second team performer last season.

Calvin, who also earned Horizon League first team honors, finished his final campaign averaging 19.6 points per game, the sixth-most in the Horizon and a top-50 mark nationally while shooting 48.2 percent overall.

He recorded 20 or more points 16 times this year and scored in double digits in every game in 2023-24 and 33 straight contests going back to last season. Calvin reached the 2,000-point milestone on Feb. 8 against Detroit Mercy and finishes his career with 2,139 points as the No. 2 all-time leading scorer in Wright State history. He became the 15th player to reach 2,000 points in Horizon League history and is the first Wright State player in the HL’s 2,000-point club.
