Six Cardinals Named CSC Men's At-Large Academic All-District

LIBERTY, Mo. - The 2025-26 Academic All-District® Men's At-Large teams, selected by College Sports Communicators, recognize 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 in four divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and NAIA.

Among the honorees are six William Jewell men's student-athletes, including golf's Cooper Newkirk and Carson Thompson, along with lacrosse's Olivier LaPlante, Tristan MacHendrie, Brenner Mitts, and Carson Wright. This group are part of the 58 student-athletes from the Great Lakes Valley Conference to earn the honor as Lewis, Missouri S&T, Quincy, Rockhurst, and UIndy each also had six selections.  

The Division II and III CSC Academic All-America® programs are partially financially supported by the NCAA Division II and III national governance structures to assist CSC with handling the awards fulfillment aspects for the 2025-26 Divisions II and III Academic All-America® programs.
