CANTON, Ga. - The Southern Athletic Association boasts 59 Academic All-District At-Large honorees across men and women's qualifying sports.
To qualify for the Academic All-District Team, student-athletes must be a sophomore and hold at least a 3.50 cumulative GPA. They must also compete in 90 percent of the institution's games played or must start in at least 66 percent of the institution's games.
The 2025-26 Academic All-District® 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.
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.
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. The NAIA CSC Academic All-America® program is partially financially supported through the NAIA governance structure.
