Women's tennis led the way with three selections, while softball, women's golf, men's outdoor track and field and women's outdoor track and field each produced multiple honorees. The baseball program also placed a representative on the prestigious team.

In all, 16 Choctaws earned All-Academic Team distinction, highlighting the department's commitment to success both in competition and in the classroom.

The Choctaws also saw widespread academic achievement across their spring sports programs, with 134 student-athletes named to the Gulf South Conference Academic Honor Roll.
