Excellence Beyond the Gridiron: MIAA Football Players Announced to Academic All-District® Team

The Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) is proud to recognize its football student-athletes named to the 2025–26 CSC Academic All-District® Team, as selected by College Sports Communicators (CSC).

The Academic All-District® Football Teams honor the nation’s top student-athletes for their combined excellence on the field and in the classroom. The CSC Academic All-America® program separately recognizes honorees across four divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III, and NAIA.

MIAA student-athletes earning Academic All-District® distinction demonstrated a strong commitment to academic success while playing key roles for their teams throughout the 2025 season. Student-athletes selected as CSC Academic All-America® finalists are denoted with an asterisk and will advance to the national ballot to be voted on by CSC members. First-, second-, and third-team Academic All-America® honorees will be announced on Jan. 27, 2026.

Alma College led the conference with six CSC Academic All-America® finalists, followed closely by Adrian College, Albion College, and Hope College each with multiple student-athletes advancing to the national ballot.

The MIAA congratulates each honoree for exemplifying the league’s commitment to excellence in academics and athletics. Additional information on the CSC Academic All-District® and Academic All-America® programs is available at AcademicAllAmerica.com.
