NEW ORLEANS – Tulane men’s basketball sophomore guard Jaylen Forbes has been selected to the American Athletic Conference Weekly Honor Roll for the second straight week and fifth time this season in an announcement by the league office Monday afternoon.
Forbes has now been honored three times in the month of February with his previous recognitions coming on Feb. 1 and Feb. 15. The Florence, Miss., native was also tabbed to the honor roll on Nov. 30 and Jan. 4.
