National Collegiate Rugby (NCR) has named 1,284 student-athletes as 2024–25 Scholastic All Americans, a 21% increase from last year’s total of 1,060 recipients. This year’s honorees include 564 women and 719 men representing 220 teams across 177 colleges and universities.

‍

The Scholastic All American program annually recognizes student-athletes who excel both on the field and in the classroom. To qualify, athletes must maintain a 3.5 GPA or higher for the academic year and be rostered for at least 50% of the A-side matches during either the Fall 15s or Spring 7s seasons. Representing roughly 1 in 20 college rugby players, this group reflects the academic dedication and athletic commitment that define collegiate rugby at its best.

This year’s list features representation from 126 men’s programs and 94 women’s programs, with several schools standing out for their high numbers of honorees:

‍

Northeastern University led all women’s programs with 22 recipients, followed by the University of Iowa with 16, and Carleton College, Colby College, and Texas A&M, each with 14.
