UCLA's Kevon Looney has earned second-team Freshman All-America honors from CBS Sports, as announced by the CBS Sports college basketball staff on Tuesday afternoon.

Looney, a freshman from Milwaukee, Wis., averaged 11.6 points and a team-leading 9.2 rebounds per game for UCLA in 2014-15, starting all 35 contests. Looney ranked first in the nation among freshmen with 15 double-doubles and was second with 9.2 rebounds per game.

A second-team All-Pac-12 Conference selection in March, Looney has also been named as one of 21 candidates for the Kyle Macy Award, distributed to the nation’s top freshman by CollegeInsider.com.

Looney is joined as a second-team CBS Sports Freshman All-America selection by Duke’s Tyus Jones and Justise Winslow, Kentucky’s Devin Booker and Texas’ Myles Turner. The five first-team selections include Duke’s Jahlil Okafor, Kentucky’s Karl-Anthony Towns, Maryland’s Melo Trimble, Ohio State’s D’Angelo Russell and Arizona’s Stanley Johnson.

Looney concluded his freshman season having shot 47.0 percent from the field, including a team-leading 41.5 percentage from 3-point distance (22-for-53). His single-season total of 331 rebounds ranks 11th in school history and is the second-highest single-season total among UCLA freshmen (Kevin Love had 415 rebounds in 2007-08).
