Robert Osborne is going to need to expand his trophy case to handle all of his awards from the most recent season.
The Virginia Union University senior forward out of Hermitage High has been named HBCU Player of the Year by BoxtoRow.
Joining Osborne on the All-American first team is teammate Raemaad Wright, a senior from Suffolk.
Osborne also was named CIAA and Atlantic Region Player of Year. He led the Panthers this season with 20.2 points per game, while adding 8.8 rebounds per contest, 3.3 assists and 1.4 steals.
Wright averaged 11.3 points and 9.8 rebounds as VUU won the Northern Division title and later claimed their first NCAA tournament win in 17 years.
