Kevin Durant (Texas 2006-07):
During the 2006-07 season, Kevin Durant led the Longhorns, one of the youngest teams in the nation, to a 25-10 mark and the NCAA Tournament Round of 32. He earned consensus National Player of the Year honors, becoming the first freshman in NCAA history to win any of the major National Player of the Year awards. A consensus first-team All-American, Durant was just the third freshman in NCAA history to earn that accolade, joining Wayman Tisdale of Oklahoma in 1983 and Chris Jackson of LSU in 1989.
Since his time on the Forty Acres, Durant's accolades continue to accumulate. A 10-time NBA All-Star, Durant has earned All-NBA First Team honors six times while amassing four NBA scoring titles. He is a two-time NBA Finals MVP (2017, 2018) while leading the Golden State Warriors to the 2017 and 2018 NBA Championships. Durant also is the 2014 NBA Most Valuable Player, a two-time NBA All-Star Game MVP (2012, 2019) and the 2008 NBA Rookie of the Year. On the Forty Acres, he was honored with the 2016 Outstanding Young Texas Ex Award. Durant is currently a member of the Brooklyn Nets.
