Langerman Named to SEC Community Service Team

FAYETTEVILLE – For the second consecutive year, Arkansas women’s basketball student-athlete Rylee Langerman has been named to the SEC Community Service Team.

Langerman is among one of the leaders in community service hours on the women’s basketball team. This year, Langerman has volunteered for the Goodard School and has participated in Christmas shopping for adopted families, among other opportunities.

As someone who has fought with Alopecia since middle school, she uses her platform to encourage little girls and boys going through the same thing to be self-confident. Earlier in the schoolyear, Langerman took part in a book signing for the release of Beanies, Ball Caps and Being Bald: Different isn’t Bad, Different is Just Different. The book opens the conversation for physical differences and Langerman was one of the inspirations behind the author Tracy Peterson’s idea of the book.

Following women’s basketball games at home, Langerman takes photos with fans, signs autographs and spends a considerable amount of time with fans and little girls and boys who look up to her.

Apart from her success on the court and all she does for the community, Langerman is one of the top students in her class, as she has earned a 4.0 GPA all but one semester as a biology major. She is a representative on the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and a member of the SEC Women’s Basketball Leadership Council and NCAA Women’s Basketball Student Engagement Group.

Langerman and the team will travel to Starkville, Mississippi to take on Mississippi State on Thursday, Feb. 23 for an 8 p.m. tipoff on SEC Network.
