SALEM, Ore. – Adding to an already historic award season, Willamette University sophomore guard Tanner Overby (Portland, OR) has been named to the D3hoops.com 2026 Men's All-Region 10 First Team.

This regional honor comes just weeks after Overby was voted the Northwest Conference Player of the Year and a First Team All-NWC selection. Overby is one of only five players in the region to earn a First Team nod, and notably, he is the only sophomore among a group of four seniors on the top squad.

Players were nominated for these awards by the Sports Information Directors (SIDs) at schools across the region.

A Season for the Record Books

Overby's sophomore campaign was a masterclass in efficiency and high-volume scoring. Appearing in 23 games, he carried the offensive load for the Bearcats while maintaining a relentless presence on the defensive end.

  • Scoring: Led the team with 560 points, averaging 24.3 points per game.

  • Efficiency: Shot an impressive 52% (192-for-369) from the floor and 43.1% (25-for-58) from beyond the arc.

  • Defense: Led the team with 54 steals, including a season-high 6 steals at Warner Pacific.

Overby saved his best for the biggest moments, exploding for a career-high 39 points against Whitman on Jan. 30. He also displayed his versatile playmaking and rebounding abilities throughout the winter, logging a 12-rebound game against George Fox and two separate 8-assist performances.
