Racer guard Cameron Payne was also named the pre-season player of the year. The sophomore averaged 16.8 points and 5.4 assists last season and is poised for some national recognition.

Perennial conference champion Belmont was named the favorite to win OVC’s East Division and Murray obviously was picked to win the West.

The rest of the OVC pre-season all conference team are Payne’s teammates Jarvis Williams and T.J. Sapp, Jarekious Bradley (SEMO), Crag Bradshaw and Reece Chamberlain (Belmont), Chris Horton (Austin Peay), Myles Taylor (UT Martin), Corey Walden (EKU) and Angelo Warner (Morehead State).
