Carroll joins Iowa State's Naz Mitrou-Long, KU's Devonte' Graham, TCU's Vladamir Brodziansky and West Virginia's Jevon Carter on the second team. 

A fifth-year senior, Forte is OSU's all-time 3-point leader with 326 makes in 133 games as a Cowboy. Forte is averaging13.4 points this season while hitting 42.3 percent of his 3-pointers and 95.2 percent of his free throws.
