University of Wisconsin men’s basketball star Ethan Happ just added another accolade to his incredible college career.
The senior, whose career has been full of historic milestones and achievements, earned a consensus second-team All-American award from the Associated Press Tuesday afternoon.
Happ, who was a third-team All-American in his sophomore season in 2017, becomes the first two-time AP All-American in Wisconsin men’s basketball history.
He is also the 23rd player in Wisconsin history to earn a first or second-team honor, and the first since Frank Kaminsky in 2015.

He was also just the second player to put up that stat line in the last 20 years, with the other being Louisiana State University’s Ben Simmons.
But the achievements don’t stop there.
Happ finished the 2018-19 season with 21 double-doubles, good enough for eighth in the nation and matching a Wisconsin school record set 1968 graduate Joe Franklin that has stood for 50 years.
In terms of the Big Ten, Happ ranked fifth in scoring, third in rebounding and third in assists.
