UALR senior Gus Leeper has been named to the 2013-14 National Association of Basketball Coaches Honors Court for his academic achievements.

A native of Austin, Texas, Leeper is a double major in International Business and Business Management and boasts a 3.97 GPA.

Last summer, Leeper studied abroad in Guadalajara, Mexico, and he has also worked in the regulatory department at Windstream in Little Rock as an intern where he gained experience with communications administration and policy issues.
