Of that group, Westminster placed 10 student-athletes on the list. That matched Goshen College for the most of any institution.

Omid Adibnazari, Daniel Duke, James Kuhn, James Milgate, and Justin Solomon all received the honor for a second consecutive season. Valan Campbell, Tysen Gehring, Gary Gonzalez, Spencer Luczak, and Chandler Shields all were named for the first time on their careers.

Nominated by each institution's head coach, a student-athlete must maintain a minimum grade point average of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale and have achieved junior academic status to qualify.
