  "account": "Jeremy Fears Jr., a star guard for Michigan State Spartans, has been named unanimous First Team All-American by CBS Sports for the 2026-27 season. The recognition comes after Fears led all college basketball players in assists during the previous season, averaging an impressive 9.4 per game. His incredible playmaking ability was recognized by KenPom.com, which ranked his 53.1 assist rate as the highest in the past two decades. Fears also boasted an extraordinary assist-to-turnover ratio, which approached a staggering 4-to-1. This performance has set the stage for Fears to potentially break the Big Ten record for most assists in a single season, a mark previously held by no Big Ten player. Fears' achievement marks the second major honor he has received during the preseason, following his selection as the preseason Big Ten Player of the Year by the Big Ten Network.",
