Georgetown's Otto Porter has been named the 2013 Big East Player of the Year. Porter is the first player from the Hoyas to win the Big East's top honor since Jeff Green in 2007.

Joining Porter on the All-Big East First Team are Notre Dame's Jack Cooley, Bryce Cotton of Providence, Louisville's Gorgui Dieng and Russ Smith, and UConn's Shabazz Napier.

Dieng was also named Defensive Player of the Year, while St. John's Jakarr Sampson was named Rookie of the Year.

While Cody Zeller and Mason Plumlee entered the college basketball season as favorites to win Player of the Year, both have faded out of the likely top-five.

In a straw poll of 64 voters conducted by ESPN, Michigan's Trey Burke, Georgetown's Otto Porter and Indiana's Victor Oladipo received the most votes.

Doug McDermott of Creighton and Gonzaga's Kelly Olynyk Jr. rounded out the top-five.
