Butler Men's Basketball Shines Academically | College Basketball News
Description
Butler’s men’s basketball team is shining off the court, earning the NABC Team Academic Excellence Award for the 2025-26 academic year — a rare honor for teams maintaining a 3.0 GPA or higher. Five players — Michael Ajayi, Jalen Jackson, Jamie Kaiser Jr., Ethan McComb, and Yohan Traore — also made the NABC Honors Court, each boasting a 3.2+ GPA as juniors, seniors, or grad students. With over 400 programs and 2,300 student-athletes honored nationwide, Butler’s achievement highlights the league’s deep commitment to academic excellence. As NABC Executive Director Craig Robinson noted, student-athletes excel on the court — but their classroom dedication deserves equal applause. Butler proves that greatness isn’t just in the gym — it’s in the books too.
