For the second year in a row, Central College men’s basketball center Josh Van Gorp has received preseason All-American honors from D3hoops.com.

The D3hoops.com preseason list included five teams and tabbed Van Gorp as a first team selection. Van Gorp, a 6-foot-10 post, was named a second team All-American by the National Association of Basketball Coaches and D3hoops.com last season. He is also the two-time reigning American Rivers Conference MVP. Van Gorp averaged 23.4 points and 10.3 rebounds per game last season, while starting in all 26 contests for Central during a 17-9 season.

Central opens the 2024-25 campaign at home on November 15th, hosting Saint John’s University (Minn.) in P.H. Kuyper Gymnasium at 7 pm.
