Bobby Portis was named to a list of the top 50 college basketball players for the 2014-2015 season on thebiglead.com.

The list, compiled by Jason McIntyre, ranks Portis as the No. 50 player.

The sophomore center was one of the most consistent players for the Razorbacks last season, averaging 12.3 points and 6.8 rebounds per game.

This summer, he has attended two premier basketball camps - the Nike Big Man Skills Academy in Union, N.J., and the LeBron James Skills Academy in Las Vegas - where he has received praise for his play.
