The Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) is proud to recognize its men’s at-large student-athletes named to the 2025–26 CSC Academic All-District® Team, as announced by College Sports Communicators (CSC).
The 2025–26 Academic All-District® Men’s At-Large Teams honor the nation’s top student-athletes for their combined performances in competition and in the classroom. The CSC Academic All-America® program separately recognizes men’s at-large honorees across four divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III, and NAIA.
MIAA student-athletes earning Academic All-District® distinction demonstrated exceptional dedication to academic achievement while excelling in their respective sports. Academic All-District® honorees were considered for advancement to the CSC Academic All-America® ballot. 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 July 8, 2026.
Albion College led the conference with three CSC Academic All-America® finalists, as Peyton Brooks, Cal Stearns, and Ryan Knitter advanced to the national ballot. Calvin University's Matt Turcotte and Hope College's John Foster also earned finalist distinction, giving the MIAA five representatives on the national ballot.
The MIAA congratulates each honoree for exemplifying excellence in academics and athletics. Additional information on the CSC Academic All-District® and Academic All-America® programs is available at AcademicAllAmerica.com.
