STANFORD, Calif. – Maxime Raynaud, of the Stanford men’s basketball team, has been named an honorable mention All-American by the Associated Press, as announced by the organization on Tuesday. Raynaud is the first Cardinal player to earn the honor since Chasson Randle in 2015.
Raynaud has been one of the most praised players in the country at the national level, earning nods to the Wooden Award, Naismith Trophy and Oscar Robertson Trophy midseason watchlists for national player of the year. Raynaud is a top-five finalist for the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Center of the Year award, and he was also named the ACC Scholar-Athlete of the Year.
The only player in the country averaging at least 20 points and 10 rebounds per game, and just the third ACC player to accomplish the feat since 2000, Raynaud leads the nation with 23 double-doubles. The Paris native ranks in the top-15 nationally in scoring and rebounding at 20.1 points and 10.6 rebounds per game. He stands second in the ACC in scoring and first in rebounding.
Re-writing the Stanford record books, Raynaud currently ranks 11th in program history in scoring and third all-time in rebounding, and he is one of four players in Stanford history to reach at least 1,500 career points and 900 career rebounds. He is five rebounds away from tying the program’s single-season record, currently held by Adam Keefe (1991-92), and he is the Cardinal's all-time leading scorer among international players. He is 13 points away from entering the program’s all-time top-10.
Raynaud led Stanford to its first 20-win campaign since 2020, and just the second in the last decade. Stanford is postseason bound for the first time since 2018, participating in the NIT.
