KANSAS CITY -- Nineteen Summit League men's basketball players from the 2025-26 academic year were honored as recipients of the NABC Honors Court Tuesday. South Dakota State and Omaha led a group of five Summit League teams represented with five honorees each. St. Thomas followed with four selections while North Dakota State garnered three selections, and Denver had a pair among the 2,400-plus players that earned the distinction from all levels of college basketball.

Those five teams also earned NABC Team Academic Excellence awards after finishing the academic year with a team GPA of 3.0 or higher. The NABC Honors Court, meanwhile, includes junior, senior and graduate student men’s basketball players who finished the 2025-26 year with a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or higher.

“Education is one of the NABC’s five core values, and we are proud to recognize the academic accomplishments of these programs and individual student-athletes across our sport,” said NABC Executive Director Craig Robinson. “The dedication and hard work of these athletes, along with their coaches and support staff members who prioritize academic success, deserves to be widely celebrated.”
