Wake Forest Balances Hoops and Books | College Basketball News
Description
Wake Forest men’s basketball is rewriting the script off the court—earning the National Association of Basketball Coaches Team Academic Excellence Award for the 2025-26 season with a team GPA of 3.0+, and three players—Mekhi Mason, Owen Kmety, and Vincent Ricchiuti—landing individual Honors Court nods for GPAs of 3.2+. Mason, a senior communication major, led the team with 46 threes and a career-high 26 points off the bench. Kmety and Ricchiuti, both finance majors, proved academics and athletics can coexist. These honors spotlight Wake Forest’s commitment to excellence beyond the hardwood, building student-athletes ready for life after basketball.
