Webster Named Academic All-District – University of Nebraska



Lincoln — Nebraska senior guard Kobe Webster was honored Thursday afternoon, as he was named to the 2021-22 Academic All-District® Men’s Basketball Team, selected by CoSIDA.

Webster was a first-team honoree in District VII, which includes Division I programs in Nebraska, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, New Mexico, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. He carries a 3.75 GPA while pursuing a masters degree in educational administration after graduating with a degree in management from Western Illinois in 2020.

Webster, a third-team Academic All-American in 2021, is a three-time first-team all-district selection (2019, 2021, 2022). He will look to become only the third Husker basketball player to be a two-time Academic All-American, joining Shavon Shields (2015-16) and Beau Reid (1989-91).

Webster has played in 23 games this season and is averaging 5.9 points and 1.6 assists per game, highlighted by a 20-point effort against Creighton on Nov. 16. For his career, Webster has totaled nearly 1,800 points, over 400 rebounds and over 350 assists, as he spent the first three seasons at Western Illinois before transferring to Nebraska prior to the 2020-21 campaign.

First-team Academic All-District® honorees advance to the CoSIDA Academic All-America® ballot. First-, second- and third-team Academic All-America® honorees will be announced in mid-March.
