BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The No. 13 Aggies were selected to finish fourth in the Southeastern Conference and N'dea Jones was named to the All-SEC Preseason Team, the league announced Friday. The preseason poll was voted on by a select panel of both SEC and national media members.
Jones was selected by the media to the six-player All-SEC Preseason Team for the first time in her career. Earlier this week, the SEC coaches tabbed her to the Preseason All-SEC First Team. The Lawrenceville, Georgia, native was also named to the Katrina McClain, Wade Trophy and Naismith Trophy watch lists.
Jones averaged a double-double with 11.0 points and a league-best 11.7 rebounds per game last season. She also was fourth in the country and led the SEC in total rebounds (351). The rebound machine amassed 16 double-doubles in 2019-20, bringing her within eight of becoming A&M's all-time leader.
The media chose the Aggies to finish fourth in the conference behind South Carolina, Mississippi State and Kentucky.
Texas A&M returns four starters from last season, including Jones, Wells, Ciera Johnson and Aaliyah Wilson. It adds the help of transfers Jordan Nixon and Destiny Pitts, along with a slew of newcomers. The Maroon & White garnered a No. 13 ranking from the Associated Press last week ahead of their season opener on Nov. 25 versus Lamar at home.
