Award Grant: List of Father-Son All-Americans Increases to Total of Nine
December 14th, 2014 - 8:38
Notre Dame guard Jerian Grant, leading the ACC in scoring, became only the ninth son of an All-American to receive the same national recognition as his father (Oklahoma All-American forward Harvey Grant in 1987-88).
No father-son combination ever earned All-American status for the same university. Virginia Tech probably should have been the first school in this category but the Hokies didn't pursue the son (Stephen Curry) of their lone NCAA consensus All-American (Dell Curry) in a meaningful fashion, which is a principal reason why they never thrived during Seth Greenberg's coaching stint. Grant's Army joined the following alphabetical list of father-son tandems in this elite family tree:
| Father | School | A-A Year(s) | Son | School | A-A Years(s) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Henry Bibby | UCLA | 1972 | Mike Bibby | Arizona | 1998 |
| Dell Curry | Virginia Tech | 1986 | Stephen Curry | Davidson | 2008 and 2009 |
| Bob Ferry | St. Louis | 1959 | Danny Ferry | Duke | 1988 and 1989 |
| Harvey Grant | Oklahoma | 1988 | Jerian Grant | Notre Dame | 2015 |
| Stan Love | Oregon | 1971 | Kevin Love | UCLA | 2008 |
| John Lucas Jr. | Maryland | 1974 through 1976 | John Lucas III | Oklahoma State | 2004 |
| Scott May | Indiana | 1975 and 1976 | Sean May | North Carolina | 2005 |
| Doc Rivers | Marquette | 1982 and 1983 | Austin Rivers | Duke | 2012 |
| Jimmy Walker | Providence | 1965 through 1967 | Jalen Rose | Michigan | 1994 |
