  07/24/20 - TE Arik GilbertrSr/2025, Transfer

  Football player Arik Gilbert and basketball player Paige Bueckers have been named national high school athletes of the year. Gilbert of Marietta, Georgia, is the first tight end to win. Bueckers of Minnetonka, Minnesota, is the first female basketball player to win since 2014. The coronavirus kept them from attending the annual dinner in Los Angeles. Instead, sponsor Gatorade arranged with their families to surprise Gilbert and Bueckers with videos in which pro athletes told them they'd won. They received their trophies at the same time. Gilbert adds his name to a list of past boys' winners that includes LeBron James, Dwight Howard, Matt Barkley and Garrett Gilbert.

"It means so much to me just knowing the names that are on that list and knowing I'm up there with all of those greats,” he said by phone. "It's really like amazing to me. It makes me want to work to be on that level." Gilbert led Marietta High to a 14-2 record and a victory in the Georgia Class 7A state championship game, the school's first title in 52 years. He's ranked as the nation's No. 1 player at his position in this year's class by ESPN and Rivals. He had a 3.14 GPA and founded a campaign that urges students to have device-free conversations and supports diversity and inclusion. - AP College Football
