Two Texas A&M basketball student-athletes received a distinguished honor late Thursday afternoon. Men’s basketball’s Henry Coleman III and Women’s Basketball’s Jada Malone were named as representatives at the SEC Basketball Leadership Council.
The Council is for student-athletes to serve as a catalyst for student-athletes to communicate from their teams to the SEC office on issues related to the student-athlete experience and wellness while also giving feedback on proposed rules about the SEC and the NCAA.
The agenda includes a conversation with SEC Chief Medical Advisor Dr. Katie O’Neal and a presentation from guest speaker Michael Haddix. The student-athletes will also be able to converse and engage with conference staff.
This year’s Council marks a return for both Coleman and Malone, who also represented Texas A&M last year. The council will once again meet at the SEC’s offices in Birmingham, Alabama.
