Unexpected Stars Emerge: Bradley Braves and Illinois Basketball Players Dominate NABC All-District Honors
When the postseason buzz starts heating up in college hoops, it’s the perfect moment for rising stars to shine brighter—and that’s exactly what Jaquan Johnson of the Bradley Braves has done. This sophomore guard has snagged a spot on the 2025-26 NABC Division I All-District Second Team, adding yet another feather to his already impressive cap. Johnson’s knack for scoring—averaging 17.1 points per game—and his defensive prowess, evidenced by an eye-popping 85 steals (tied for third nationally!), haven’t gone unnoticed. He not only earned first-team All-MVC honors but also claimed the MVC Defensive Player of the Year title, showcasing his all-around game. And make no mistake—landing in this elite two-team All-NABC selection, which heavily features Big Ten talents like David Mirkovic and Keaton Wagler from Illinois, is no small feat. This recognition couldn’t have come at a better time as the Braves gear up to make their mark in the postseason. LEARN MORE
