Six players also earned a spot on the NABC Honors Court, with senior Emmett Hamilton, junior Emmett Hendry, senior Kadin Reed, junior Malik Matanmi, junior Quentin Pridgen, and senior Reid Neumann named on the list.
The NABC Team Academic Excellence Awards recognize programs that completed the 2025-26 academic year with a team GPA of 3.0 or higher.
