Mississippi State graduate guard Jordan Danberry was named to the Southeastern Conference Community Service team, the league announced Wednesday.
Danberry has participated in six community service events this season, including working with children with autism and special needs through Camp of the Rising Sun and Baseball Buddies.
Along with teammates, she visited children with severe illnesses in the hospital in Jackson when the Bulldogs played at Jackson State this season.
Danberry was also named a semifinalist for the Naismith Defensive Player of the Year Award on Tuesday.
One of 10 players on the list, she is one of just two SEC players to earn the honor. She ranks 22nd nationally in total steals and 32nd in steals per game, helping the Bulldogs to a No. 12 national rank in turnovers forced per game with 21.4.
Along with the honor, Danberry also earned a spot on the Citizen Naismith Trophy Player of the Year Midseason Team.
Mississippi State hosts Arkansas at 8 p.m. Thursday at Humphrey Coliseum.
