Musketeer senior is a consensus Second Team All-American.
CINCINNATI --- Xavier University senior guard Trevon Bluiett has been named as an Associated Press Second Team All-American.
Bluiett is the fourth Musketeer to be named to the AP first, second or third team. Tu Holloway earned 2011 AP Third Team All-American as a junior, while Byron Larkin earned 1988 AP Third Team All-American as a senior. Bluiett joins David West as the only Musketeers to earn a spot on one of the AP's top two teams. West was named 2002 AP Second Team All-American as a junior and was named 2003 AP First Team All-American and AP National Player of the Year as a senior.
Today's AP honor adds to the list of postseason All-America awards for Bluiett. He has also earned 2018 Second Team All-America honors from the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC), the USBWA (United States Basketball Writers Association), Sporting News, USA Today, NBC Sports and NCAA.com.
Bluiett, who ranked sixth in the BIG EAST in scoring at 19.3 ppg., scored 2,261 points in his four-year career, which ranks second on XU's all-time scoring list. His 762 career rebounds rank 11th in Xavier history. Blueitt is one of only 13 players in BIG EAST Conference history to earn BIG EAST First Team honors three times. He also earned a spot on the All-BIG EAST Tournament team for a third straight year.
Bluiett, who ranked third in the BIG EAST in 3-point field goals per game at 3.0, holds the Xavier career record (319) and single season record (105 in 2017-18) for 3-point field goals made. In addition, he shares the single-game 3-point field goal record with nine in a game at Cincinnati his junior year and hit eight more in win over Seton Hall this past season.
