WALTHAM, Mass. -- Thirty-six members of Brandeis University's spring athletic teams have been named to the 2025-26 University Athletic Association All-Academic team.

Within the UAA, All-Academic recognition is awarded to student-athletes who have completed at least one full year of college study and who carry a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.500, which is equivalent to the College Sports Communicators (CSC) academic threshold for Academic All-District and Academic All-America honors. It is an increase from last year's 3.300 minimum GPA. 

This season, sotball led the way with nine team members honored, while women's track and field had eight. Men's track and field had six honorees. Women's tennis had all five of its eligible players earn a spot on the team. Baseball had five honorees and men's tennis had four. 

The 635 recipients of UAA All-Academic Recognition this season represent approximately 72 percent of the total eligible UAA student-athletes – members of all teams who have completed at least one year of undergraduate study. Percentages varied by institution with a high of 83.9 percent of eligible student-athletes earning All-Academic honors. Percentages among sports varied with a high of 76.6 percent of eligible tennis athletes receiving All-Academic recognition.

The UAA Presidents Council established a program of All-Academic recognition in April 1998. Qualifying student-athletes are recognized at the completion of the fall, winter, and spring seasons each year. The honor is intended to recognize the high level of academic achievement demonstrated by student-athletes who effectively balance their significant commitment of time, effort, and energy in athletic endeavor with their highly challenging academic responsibilities.
