Fayette, Mo. - Central Methodist redshirt junior wrestler Jake Henson was recognized as a member of the CSC Academic All-District At-Large Team earlier this month.

The 2024-25 Academic All-District Men's At-Large teams, selected by College Sports Communicators, recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances in competition and in the classroom. The CSC Academic All-America® program separately recognizes At-Large honorees in five divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III, NAIA, and the College Division.

To be nominated for the All-District Team, a student-athlete must be at least a sophomore academically and athletically, be a starter or important reserve, and hold at least a 3.50 cumulative grade point average at their current institution. 

Academic All-District honorees were considered for advancement to the CSC Academic All-America ballot. Student-athletes selected as CSC Academic All-America finalists are denoted with an asterisk and will advance to the national ballot to be voted on by CSC members.

NCAA, NAIA and College Division Men's At-Large Teams will be announced on Wednesday, July 9.
