Manheim, PA – On April 2, 2025, the National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA) announced the recipients of the 2025 NCAA Division I Men’s Scholar All-American Awards. This prestigious honor highlights a group of talented student-athletes who have shown remarkable performance both in wrestling and in their academic pursuits.
To receive this award, student-athletes must meet specific criteria that demonstrate a high level of achievement in the classroom while also excelling in their sport. These deserving wrestlers represent the best of both worlds, balancing the demands of rigorous training and competition with the responsibilities of their educational commitments.
Mike Moyer, the Executive Director of the NWCA, expressed his pride in these athletes. “The NWCA is proud to recognize these outstanding individuals who embody excellence in both athletics and academics,” Moyer said, underscoring the importance of maintaining a strong academic standing while competing at a high level in sports.

These athletes not only serve as role models for their peers but also illustrate the significant impact that collegiate sports can have on personal and academic growth.
The recognition of these Scholar All-Americans stands as a testament to the hard work, dedication, and determination these athletes display, both on the mat and in their studies. As the wrestling community celebrates these exceptional student-athletes, it serves as a reminder that success comes in many forms and that academic achievement is just as important as athletic prowess.
