GAMBIER, Ohio -- The College Sports Communicators (CSC) announced Tuesday the organization's 2025-26 At-Large Academic All-District Team. Among the honorees were Kenyon College golfers Jonathan Oakes and Connor Gray.

In order to be considered for the At-Large Academic All-District Team, a nominee had to be on the team's active roster for at least two years and had to possess at least a 3.50 cumulative grade point average. Additionally, for golf, the nominees had to compete in a minimum of 75 percent of the team's total varsity events and/or be a part of the team's scoring lineup at a conference championship.

The CSC At-Large program includes nominees from 10 different NCAA men's sports (two of which Kenyon offers), and limits each institution to six nominees. Kenyon filled that allotment with the two golf honorees, as well as four more honorees from the men's lacrosse team.

Oakes, who just completed his junior season, adds this award to a long list of accolades. This past season alone he was named an all-conference player, as well as the North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) Player of the Year. Additionally, he was voted both a Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) All-Region and All-America honorable mention. The CSC Academic All-District award is a first for Oakes, who led the Kenyon team with a scoring average of 73.41 across 34 rounds played. In the classroom, Oakes majors in economics.

Gray, like Oakes, is an economics major and a first-time winner of the CSC Academic All-District honor. After playing just five rounds as a first-year, Gray played 34 rounds as a sophomore and ranked second on the team with a 73.44 scoring average. He was named a first-team member on the All-NCAC squad and went on to earn GCAA All-Region and All-America honorable mention awards.
