Fomer Texas Tech men’s basketball player picked up an honor not received by a Tech student athlete since the 2001-2002 academic year.
Sportsperson of the Year.
The Big 12 announced Friday Lammert and University of Texas women’s basketball player Imani McGee-Stafford as the recipients of the award, which began in 2000 as a way to honor student athletes who display extraordinary attributes outside of their respective sports.
According to the Big 12 Conference official release, Lammert founded the Red Raider Reach Program in 2015. The objective of the program is to increase volunteers from Texas Tech sports teams to get involved with local children’s hospitals. Because of this, community service hours grew by 500 hours. His involvement in community activities earned him a nomination to the All-State “Good Works Team” for the 2014-15 season. He was named the 2014-15 Texas Tech Athletics Good Citizen Award recipient as well as the Male Student-Athlete of the Year.
Lammert wrapped up his basketball career with Tech this past season. He is currently pursuing a master’s degree at Tech in sports management.
