The National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) announced their first team all-distric selections for the 2024-2025 season. South Carolina sophomore forward Collin Murray-Boyles received first team All-South Atlantic Division honors.

The NABC introduced a new model for its Division I district alignment this season, with schools arranged by state rather than by conference. The modernizedNABC Division I district alignmentfeatures 10 geographic regions that each encompass multiple states. Every Division I school in each given state belongs to that state’s corresponding district.

Murray-Boyles had a standout sophomore year in 2024-2025 for the Gamecocks. He would go on to average 16.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.3 blocks per game. He started all 32 games and had a career-best 11, 20-point games and nine double-doubles. The Columbia, S.C., native led the team in points (538), rebounds (264), steals (47) and blocks (43) and was second in assists (77).
