WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — UNCW forward Devontae Cacok has earned All-CAA first team honors, while teammate Jordon Talley was named to the third team.

Cacok moved up to the All-CAA first team after receiving third team honors a year ago. The junior from Riverdale, GA, leads the nation in rebounding with 13.8 per game, an average that would be the best season mark in CAA history.

His 22 double-doubles are the most in the CAA and the second-most of any player in the nation.
