TAYLORSVILLE, Utah (May 6, 2021) - After a successful 2021 season, the nationally-acclaimed Salt Lake Community College men's basketball team has seen one of its players earn national honors.

In a news release from the NJCAA, SLCC's Marvin Price was named to the NJCAA All-America Third-Team list, thanks to helping lead the Bruins to an overall record of 20-5 and 12-3 in the Scenic West Athletic Conference. SLCC fell in the opening round of the NJCAA National Tournament.

SLCC coach Kyle Taylor said Price is deserving of the honor.

"This is a great honor for Marvin and definitely well deserved," he said. "I am very happy for Marvin Price to be named Third-Team All-American. There are a ton of really talented players in Junior College, and Marvin is certainly one of them, so it is great to see him receive this award. Marvin had a fantastic year for us, and just kept getting better and better as the year went on. I'm proud of how he grew as a man and player throughout the year, and for it to culminate in this award is awesome and special."

Price averaged 12.1 points and 5.3 rebounds a game during the season, leading to All-Region 18 First Team honors. He was also named to the All-Region 18 All-Tournament team. A native of Baltimore, Price hit multiple game-winning shots, including hitting a shot at the buzzer to send Salt Lake to overtime in the opening round of the 2021 NJCAA tourney.

Price said Salt Lake has provided him with great opportunities to be successful.

"I'm blessed to have this opportunity and extremely thankful I got to achieve it through Salt Lake Community College," he said. "This is a team effort and my teammates get a lot of credit for me getting this award, I want to make sure and thank them too."
