CORVALLIS, Ore. – Tres Tinkle received Pac-12 All-Freshman honorable mention recognition as selected by a vote of the conference coaches, Commissioner Larry Scott announced Monday.
Tinkle, a 6-foot-8 forward from Missoula, Mont., is second on the Beavers in scoring (13.1) and rebounding (5.4), while shooting 44.1 percent from the field, 36.3 percent from beyond the arc and 73.5 percent from the free throw line. He missed the past two games after suffering a foot injury during a practice in Los Angeles.
Among Pac-12 freshmen, Tinkle was fourth in scoring (13.1), fourth in rebounding (5.4), fourth in steals (1.2) and eighth in assists (1.1) before the injury. Five players were selected to the Pac-12 All-Freshman Team and three others, including Tinkle, received at least three votes to earn honorable mention recognition.
