INDIANAPOLIS – The National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) and Allstate Insurance Company have named Georgia Southern sophomore guard Devonte Boykins a nominee for the 2016 Allstate NABC Good Works Team®.
In its fourth year, the Allstate NABC Good Works Team® recognize players at all levels of college basketball who have made outstanding contributions in the areas of volunteerism and civic involvement.
