University of Iowa senior Payton Sandfort has been named honorable mention All-Big Ten by both the coaches and media, it was announced Tuesday on B1G Today on the Big Ten Network.

It is the third honor of Sandfort’s career. He was the Big Ten Sixth Man of the Year as a sophomore and a third-team All-Big Ten selection as a junior.

Sophomore Ladji Dembele was also named Iowa’s Big Ten Sportsmanship Award recipient.

Sandfort is averaging 16.3 points and 6.3 rebounds during the 2024-25 season, ranking second on the team in both categories.  He has a team-best 13 20-point games this season and ranks fourth in the conference with 74 3-point field goals.

This season, Sandfort has scored 505 points, eclipsing the 500-point mark for a second consecutive season.  He is the first Hawkeye since Luka Garza to accomplish the feat and he’s the 12th Hawkeye to have two 500-point seasons all-time.

The Waukee, Iowa, native currently ranks 13th in the record books with 1,572 career points and is third all-time with 261 career 3-point field goals – two shy of passing Jeff Horner for No. 2 all-time. He is one of two players in Iowa history to have 1,500+ points, 500+ rebounds and 250+ 3-point field goals.

Sandfort is also on track to break the program’s all-time career free throw percentage record.  He has made 89.5 percent (263-of-294) of his career attempts, which puts him on track to better Jordan Bohannon’s school record of 88.7 percent.

The Hawkeyes (16-15) head to Indianapolis for the 2025 TIAA Big Ten Tournament.  No. 15 seed Iowa will face No. 10 seed Ohio State on Wednesday at approximately 5 p.m. (CT) at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.  The game will be streamed on Peacock.
