LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Former Duke men's basketball standout Zion Williamson is adding another trophy to his collection.

• Williamson won the ESPY as the 2019 College Athlete of the Year
• He is Duke's first men's basketball player to win an ESPY. 
• Williamson became the number one overall draft pick in last month's 2019 NBA Draft when he was picked by the New Orleans Pelicans.

Williamson won 2019 College Athlete of the Year, making him Duke's first men's basketball player to win an ESPY. 

“I want to thank Duke University and Coach K for letting me perform on the highest platform,” said Williamson during his acceptance speech. “And a shout out to The Brotherhood -- I wish they could have been here with me. I love Duke, and wish I could have stayed a second year.”

Williamson became the number one overall draft pick in last month's 2019 NBA Draft when he was picked by the New Orleans Pelicans.

He was the consensus National Player of the Year and a consensus first-team All-America selection. He was the first freshman in ACC history to be named both ACC Player of the Year and ACC Tournament MVP in the same season.

The other 2019 nominees for the College Athlete of the Year were Kyler Murray, Oklahoma football; Sabrina Ionescu, Oregon women’s basketball; and Rachel Garcia, UCLA softball.
