ALISO VIEJO, Calif. - Three CCAA men's golfers have been selected to the 2026 College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District Men's At-Large Team.
 
The program recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the field and in the classroom. The CSC Academic All-America® program separately recognizes at-large honorees in four divisions - NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III, and NAIA.
 
Two of the three selections came from Stanislaus State, where both Chase Bird and Riley Kirk earned academic all-district honors. Kameron Hopson from Cal State San Bernardino collected the final honor for the CCAA.
 
Hopson was announced as a CSC Academic All-America® finalist. He will advance to the national ballot to be voted on by CSC members. First-, second-, and third-team Academic All-America® honorees will be announced on July 8. Click here to see the complete list of CSC Academic All-District selections.
 
To be considered for the honor, a student-athlete must be a starter or important reserve with at least a cumulative grade-point average of 3.50 at their current institution. Nominated athletes must have participated in at least 50 percent of the team's contests. No student-athlete is eligible until they have completed one full calendar year at their current institution and are at least a sophomore academically and athletically.

The Division II and III CSC Academic All-America® programs are partially financially supported by the NCAA Division II and III national governance structures to assist CSC with handling the awards fulfillment aspects for the 2025-26 Divisions II and III Academic All-America® programs. The NAIA CSC Academic All-America® program is partially financially supported through the NAIA national office.
