CLEVELAND, Ohio (4/11/13) – University of Detroit Mercy junior guard Ray McCallum was one of 10 student-athletes to be named to the Division I-AAA Athletics Directors Association Scholar-Athlete Team, announced today by the Division I-AAA Athletics Directors Association (DI-AAA ADA).

McCallum, a Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) member, was voted the Horizon League Player of the Year after finishing with 18.7 points per game, ranking 35th nationally. The junior collected accolades throughout the postseason, including Lute Olson All-America Team honors and a place on the NABC District 12 First Team. The junior was the first player since fellow Titan Rashad Phillips in 2000-01 to earn both Horizon League preseason and postseason Player of the Year honors.

Entering his senior season, McCallum checks in at 39th on the Horizon League's all-time scoring ledger with 1,618 career points. McCallum is the active leader in the Horizon League with 451 assists and 175 steals.

A communications major, McCallum holds a 3.48 GPA through three years at Detroit.

Joining McCallum on the Division I-AAA Scholar-Athlete Team was Ben Averkamp (Loyola), Luke Apfeld (Vermont), Travis Bader (Oakland), Kyle Boswell (UC Santa Barbara), Chase Hallam (Denver), Holton Hunsaker (Utah Valley), John Staurt Mann (Belmont), Isaac Sosa (Canisius), and Scholar-Athlete of the Year Kelly Olynyk (Gonzaga).

Basketball players from all Division I-AAA ADA member institutions were eligible for the award. Each nominee was required to have a minimum GPA of 3.20 (on a 4.00 scale) in undergraduate study, been a starter or important reserve that has participated in at least 50 percent of his team's games, and reached junior academic standing at the institution. A special review committee of Division I-AAA athletics directors selected the winners.
