With the addition of Davis, 19 UNC players have earned consensus first-team All-America honors 28 times. A consensus selection is one that made a majority of the NCAA’s four recognized All-America teams, and Davis was a member of all four this year: Sporting News, Associated Press, NABC (coaches) and USBWA (media).
Davis joins Lennie Rosenbluth in 1957, Phil Ford in 1978, Michael Jordan in 1983 and 1984, Kenny Smith in 1987, Jerry Stackhouse in 1995, Antawn Jamison in 1998, Joseph Forte in 2001, and Tyler Hansbrough in 2008 and 2009 as the only Tar Heels to make first-team All-America on each of the teams the NCAA recognizes to determine consensus first-team All-America. The Associated Press, UBWA, NABC and Sporting News have determined consensus All-Americas each year since 1997.
Carolina is tied for fifth in NCAA history with 19 different players who have earned consensus first-team All-Americas. Those 19 Tar Heels have earned the distinction 28 times, the second-most all-time behind Kansas’ 32.
Davis, the ACC Player of the Year, helped lead the Tar Heels to the ACC regular-season title and a top seed in the NCAA Tournament. Davis averages 21.4 points and 3.5 assists per game.
He and Armando Bacot, who made third-team All-America by the USBWA, are the only players from the same program to make this year’s 15-man squad. Bacot also made several third teams, including the USBWA, in 2023.
