Mangok Mathiang has accumulated the most community service hours on the Cardinals' team.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- University of Louisville redshirt senior Mangok Mathiang is a nominee for the 2017 Allstate NABC and WBCA Good Works Teams®, announced on Wednesday. This esteemed award honors an outstanding group of student-athletes who represent the sport's finest in the areas of community service and leadership among their peers.
Mathiang is a team captain for the nationally-ranked University of Louisville men's basketball team for the second straight year. Over the past three years, he has accumulated the most community service hours on the Cardinals' team. A communications major, Mathiang has developed an amazing reputation for being a kind, gentle-hearted young man. Among the many service projects in which he has participated include the Louisville Coalition for the Homeless & Salvation Army- Stand Down 2016, a speaker at elementary schools, Dare to Care food bank, Metro Parks and Recreation Adaptive and Inclusive Recreation Program, multiple hospital visits and many other community service initiatives.
He is a leader off the court and on it, as a starter or key reserve over his first three seasons. He was one of a league-leading seven Louisville student-athletes honored on the 2016 All-ACC Academic Men's Basketball Team and has regularly achieved recognition on the UofL Athletic Director's Honor Roll.
The Allstate NABC and WBCA Good Works Teams® recognizes players at all levels of college basketball whose charitable involvement and altruistic acts stand out amongst all other student-athletes participating in the sport. From leading an initiative to help end the water crisis in Flint, Mich., to co-founding a non-profit with the mission to improve literacy rates across the country, the players nominated embody the true spirit of teamwork and giving back.
"The positive impact that student-athletes are making on college campuses and communities around the world can sometimes go unnoticed," said Thomas Clarkson, president of the west territory for Allstate Insurance Company and a member of the 2017 NABC and WBCA Good Works Teams® selection panels. "Allstate is a proud supporter of NCAA® college basketball and takes immense pride in working with the NABC and WBCA to recognize players who continue to make giving back a priority and inspire future generations of athletes."
Athletic departments and sports information directors across the country nominated the 181 NABC and the 97 WBCA student-athletes for the prestigious honor. Two special voting panels, headlined by former Duke University basketball athlete, two-time NCAA® champion and seven-time NBA All-Star Grant Hill, and former Notre Dame basketball star, two-time Nancy Lieberman Award winner and current WNBA player Skylar Diggins, will select 10-member teams from both the NABC and WBCA, comprised of five student-athletes from the NCAA Division I level and five student-athletes from Divisions II, III and the NAIA. The final roster of 20 award recipients will be unveiled in February.
Members of the Allstate NABC Good Works Team® will be invited by Allstate, an official corporate partner of the NCAA, to the 2017 NABC Convention and 2017 NCAA Men's Final Four® in Phoenix, where they will participate in a community service project benefitting the city.
