Indianapolis, Ind. -- Youngstown State sophomore Darius Quisenberry was named to the All-Horizon League First-Team while senior Devin Morgan was named the league's Six Man of the Year and junior Garrett Covington was named to the Horizon League All-Defensive Team after a vote of the league's head coaches, athletics communications directors and select media, the league announced on Monday.
Quisenberry, a second-team all-league selection in 2018-19, ranked fourth in scoring (16.9 ppg) and assist-to-turnover ratio (1.6), fifth in assists (4.2 apg), sixth in free-throw percentage (.787) and seventh in field-goal percentage (.424) and steals (1.5 spg). In league games, Quisenberry averaged 18.2 points 4.8 assists per game.
He scored in double figures 25 times and scored at least 20 points 10 times this season. His 524 points rank ninth on the YSU Division I single-season chart, and his career-high 41 points against Wright State on Feb. 20 rank sixth on the YSU Division I single-game scoring list.
Quisenberry is just the second YSU sophomore to earn All-Horizon League First-Team honors. Kendrick Perry was the last YSU sophomore named first-team all-league in 2011-12. Quisenberry is also just the fifth player in YSU's Division I history to receive multiple all-conference accolades.
Covington was named to the All-Defensive Team for the second straight season. Assigned to cover the opponent's top scorer, Covington tallied 16 steals and grabbed 49 defensive rebounds this season. He also hauled down at least four rebounds 15 times this year. He is the third YSU player to be named to the all-defensive team in multiple seasons.
Morgan, who ranked second on the team with 46 3-pointers made, averaged 1.5 3-pointers made per game in 17.4 minutes per contest. He twice made a career-high six 3-pointers against Green Bay on Jan. 25 and Oakland on Feb. 15. Morgan scored a YSU career-best 26 points against the Phoenix and posted 20 points against the Golden Grizzlies. He made a total 32 3-pointers and 1.8 3-pointers made per game against league opponents.
