Former Newcastle Royal Grammar School pupil Tosan Evbuomwan has won a top college basketball award in the US.
Tosan, 21, had starred for Newcastle Eagles before coaches at Princeton University were so impressed by a video of him playing they invited him across the Atlantic two years ago on a scholarship.
Since then he has been picked out as a star on the hugely competitive college basketball circuit playing for the Princeton Tigers, which saw him voted the unanimous Ivy League Player of the Year.
