Three Marist University men's basketball players have been selected to the 2025‑26 NABC Honors Court, a national recognition that celebrates junior, senior and graduate athletes who maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 3.2.
A Tradition of Excellence
The NABC Honors Court, administered by the National Association of Basketball Coaches, underscores the growing emphasis on academic achievement alongside athletic performance in college basketball.
Among the honorees, Jadin Collins‑Roberts distinguished himself by completing his undergraduate degree in Communication in just three years, a feat that also earned him the distinction of being the Red Foxes' first captain under head coach John Dunne.
Jason Schofield, a junior majoring in Business Administration, joins his teammates on the prestigious list, reflecting the program's commitment to developing well‑rounded leaders.
Rhyjon Blackwell, a graduate student pursuing a Master's in Integrated Marketing Communication, rounds out the trio, illustrating the diverse academic paths pursued by Marist athletes.
Coach John Dunne's Impact
In eight seasons as head coach of the Red Foxes, John Dunne has cultivated a culture of excellence that has produced 22 NABC Honors Court selections, a testament to his recruiting and developmental acumen.
The recognition not only highlights individual accomplishment but also reinforces Marist University's reputation as a hub of scholarly and athletic ambition in the Northeast.
