Michigan State basketball point guard Jeremy Fears Jr. is a certified star. The leader of the MSU team, Fears has positioned himself as one of the best point guards, and players, in all of college basketball. That sentiment was backed up on Tuesday, when he made the Wooden Award’s Late Midseason watch list.
The Wooden Award is the most prestigious individual honor in college basketball, presented annually to the most outstanding player in the sport. Shockingly, no Spartan has won the award since its inception, although some have been recognized.
