2023-24 NAIA Men’s Basketball All-Americans
SEWARD, Neb. – Following one of the best individual seasons in Concordia University Men’s Basketball history, senior forward Noah Schutte was recognized appropriately on Monday (April 1). The NAIA honored Schutte as a 2023-24 NAIA Third Team All-American. Schutte moved up to the third team after being chosen as an NAIA Honorable Mention All-American in 2022-23.
A top-five scorer in school history, Schutte led the Bulldogs back to the national tournament for the third-straight year and to a share of the 2023-24 GPAC regular season title. This past season, Schutte averaged 20.9 points, 8.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.1 steals per game while starting all 32 contests. He shot 55.2 percent (229-for-415) from the floor, 35.9 percent (37-for-103) from 3-point range and 83.3 percent (175-for-210) from the foul line. In 115 career games at Concordia, the Laurel, Neb., native has totaled 1,827 points, 727 rebounds, 195 assists and 78 steals. Schutte has been named a First Team All-GPAC selection in back-to-back years.
