The Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) is proud to recognize its men’s soccer student-athletes named to the 2025–26 Academic All-District® Team, as selected by College Sports Communicators (CSC).
The annual program honors the nation’s top performers for their excellence both in the classroom and on the field, with honorees recognized across NCAA Division I, II, III, and NAIA.
MIAA student-athletes earning Academic All-District® distinction have demonstrated exceptional academic commitment while contributing significantly to their programs’ success throughout the season. Several honorees earned additional recognition as CSC Academic All-America® finalists, indicated with an asterisk, and will advance to the national ballot for consideration. First-, second-, and third-team Academic All-America® selections will be announced on December 16, 2025.
Albion College leads the league, boasting five Academic All-America® finalists—Esteban Mercado*, Ivan Murillo*, Gabe Priestley*, Tristen Spettel*, and Tom Veresh*—each advancing to the national ballot.
The MIAA congratulates each student-athlete for their dedication to academic achievement and athletic excellence. Additional details on the CSC Academic All-District® and Academic All-America® programs are available at AcademicAllAmerica.com.
