KU Nets 32 Student-Athletes as PSAC Academic All-Conference Selections for Spring 2026
Kutztown University athletics had 32 student-athletes earn Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Academic All-Conference honors for the spring. This new honor for the 2025-26 school year was created to increase academic recognition for high-achieving student-athletes – a priority for the league's members that was highlighted in its most recent strategic plan. Academic All-Conference awards were previously chosen for the fall and winter seasons. To achieve an Academic All-Conference classification, a student-athlete must have completed two seasons of athletic eligibility and four semesters academically with at least a 3.5 cumulative grade point average (on a 4.0 scale).
