Taylor Johns Named UC Riverside Male Student-Athlete Of The Year"The UC Riverside Athletics Department hosted the annual Scotty Awards Wednesday evening to celebrate the many successes of the 2014-15 season. Men's Basketball player Taylor Johns took home Male Student-Athlete of the Year honors.

Johns was named to the All-Big West First Team this year after finishing third in the conference in scoring, second in rebounding and first in blocked shots. He also helped lead the Highlanders to the program's second most overall wins, and second most conference wins, in its Division I history.

Johns punctuated his season in the Big West Conference Tournament by dunking over UC Irvine's 7-6 center Mamadou Ndiaye, earning himself a place on ESPN SportsCenter's Top 10 plays of the day."
