Congratulations to Jahlil Okafor, who has been named the Morgan Wootten National Player of the Year. Okafor becomes the second Blue Devil in a row from Chicago to win it, following in the footsteps of Jabari Parker. Okafor and Whitney Young also won the state championship, following up on Parker's four straight.
