Record Number of Student-Athletes Recognized for Academic Performance
June 10, 2026
A record-setting 30 student-athletes have been named to the 2026 Spring Athletic Director's List recognizing their academic achievement. This is the sixth semester the department has honored such a group, which requires a minimum 3.0 GPA earned from the semester.
Men's and Women's track and field paced the group with 15 student-athletes, highlighted
by Devin Page with his sixth recognition to lead all Trailblazers with the academic award.
Women's basketball placed 10 of its student-athletes led by De’Asia Johnson and Kaylyn Minor achieving with their third time on the list. Ke'Liyah Anderson, Sophia Fisher, Khalaizah Martin, Sanaa Murphy-Showers, and Kayden Riley were honored a second time.
Men's basketball produced five recipients, with the entire quintet having players
that are multi-year recipients including Greg Crawford on the list for all four of his semesters at UNT Dallas and Dante Curry-El leading the program with his fifth.
Julian Adigler (men's track and field), Crawford (men's basketball), and Ke'Liyah Anderson (women's basketball) all received a 4.0 GPA in the 2026 Spring semester.
UNT Dallas also participates in NAIA scholar athlete programs, which featured Page
(fall and spring), Crawford (winter), and Wright (fall) as recipients during the 2025-26
season. The Red River Athletic Conference will release academic honors later this
summer.
UNT Dallas saw its Athletic Director's List grow to record numbers each semester of
the 2025-26 season, with 25 in the fall and 30 in the spring being the new bar in
2026. Congratulations to these talented students who successfully balanced the challenges
of academics and athletics!
