HOUSTON – Texas A&M standout Dexter Dennis was selected to compete in the 2023 NABC – Reese's Division I College All-Star Game, in conjunction with this weekend's NCAA Men's Basketball Final Four, the National Association of Basketball Coaches announced.

Dennis, from Baker, Louisiana, will be coached by Buzz Williams and several members of the Texas A&M staff for the West All-Stars.

He came to Texas A&M as a graduate transfer from Wichita State, where he won American Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Year honors as a senior in 2021-22. For his career, Dennis compiled 1,313 points, 752 rebounds, 220 3-pointers, 162 assists and 93 steals while playing over 4,000 minutes in 146 games.
