Bowling Green, KY - UC has seen their prowess in the classroom be as consistent as their play on the court with them being tied for the third most all-academic members in the Mid-South Conference with six. The Patriot's presence in the classroom has been continually consistent as this marks the sixth straight years UC has had six or more players make the list.

Leading the way for the Patriots on the list are Steven Fitzgerald and Austin Hall who earned the honor for a third straight season to lead the team.

Showing up for the first time on the list in their first year of eligibility are J.J. Ramey, Justin Sharpe, Devin Bowling, and Logan Minton.

Austin Hall was also named Cumberlands' representative for Champions of Character, adding to his list of honors.

Freed-Hardeman and Lindsey Wilson led all MSC institutions with 10 honorees. Bethel had the second-most in the conference with seven while UC and Tennessee Southern both had six honorees.

In order to be nominated for the All-Academic team each athlete must maintain a minimum grade point average of 3.25 on a 4.0 scale, and have completed at least one year at a college or university. The MSC recognizes a Champions of Character Team for each championship sport. The student-athletes that are honored on the Champions of Character Team were nominated by their coaches based on their leadership on campus and in the community while demonstrating the five core character values of the NAIA.
