The Virginia Sports Information Directors (VaSID) announced their All State College Division Men's Basketball Teams. Roanoke College sophomore Kasey Draper was named to the first team.

Draper, a guard/forward from Roanoke, earned his first team accolades after a season that would see him also be named All Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC).  This season he scored in double figures in each of his 11 games played this season on his way to averaging 19.1 points per game, fourth in the conference. Draper hit 50% of his field goal attempts, including over 38% from long range. His 7.6 rebounds were second on the team and 11th in the league. In a February 11th win over Washington and Lee, Draper set his career high with 31 points. Kasey helped lead the Maroons to an overall record of 10-2, including a perfect 7-0 in ODAC play, on their way to the #1 seed in the 2021 ODAC Men's Basketball Tournament.
