In addition to the conference honors, Nnaji garnered all-district accolades from the USBWA and the NABC and the Associated Press awarded him the conference's Newcomer of the Year honor and first team all-conference attention. Nnaji, a native of Hopkins, Minnesota, led the Pac-12 in double-doubles (14) and also paced the conference in rebounding in conference play while scoring at a 16.1 points per game clip. 

Because he was named Pac-12 Freshman of the Year, Nnaji is now eligible to have his name entered into the Ring of Honor in the McKale Center.
