NEW HAVEN, Conn. – For the 12th consecutive season, Yale men's basketball has received a NABC Team Academic Excellence Award, announced on Wednesday afternoon. Additionally, three student athletes on the team garnered NABC Honors Court accolades.
 
The three Bulldogs to earn Honors Court recognition are: Casey Simmons, Nick Townsend, and Trevor Mullin.
 
The NABC Team Academic Excellence Awards recognize programs that completed the 2025-26 academic year with a team GPA of 3.0 or higher. The NABC Honors Court, meanwhile, includes junior, senior and graduate student men's basketball players who finished the 2025-26 year with a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or higher.
 
Over 2,300 players earned spots on the NABC Honors Court and over 400 programs received NABC Team Academic Excellence Awards for 2025-26.
 
"College basketball student-athletes do incredible things on the court, but their achievements in the classroom are equally worthy of celebration," said NABC Executive Director Craig Robinson. "Education is one of the NABC's core values, and the hundreds of programs and thousands of athletes represented on these awards reinforce the commitment to academic success that exists across all levels of our sport."
