MIAC Release

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. - Sixty-one Saint John's University student-athletes achieved 2025 Fall Academic All-MIAC honors on Wednesday, Jan. 28.

For the sixth-straight academic year and eighth in the last 11, SJU led the MIAC in male honorees for the fall.

In order to qualify for MIAC Academic All-Conference recognition, student-athletes must be a sophomore, junior or senior with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale. Transfers must have completed one academic year (full-time) at the institution prior to becoming eligible the following year.

Athletically, student-athletes must be a member of a MIAC-sponsored varsity team, utilize a season of participation (per NCAA and MIAC definitions) and have remained on the sports roster through the conclusion of the sport's season.

The MIAC moved away from athletic-specific requirements (i.e. participate in 50 percent of the games, finish in the top 100 at the MIAC Championships, etc.) beginning with the 2021-22 academic year.

By sport, here are the Johnnies who earned the honor (listed alphabetically):
