Dylan Winebrenner, a senior at the University of Richmond, has been selected for the College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All‑America Third Team for the 2026 campaign, a testament to his performance both on the field and in the classroom.
A Dual Threat on Diamond and in the Classroom
A versatile infielder and designated hitter, Winebrenner started every one of Richmond’s 57 games, contributing offensively with a .359 batting average, a .645 slugging percentage, 16 home runs and a .470 on‑base rate, numbers that placed him third in the Atlantic 10 for slugging and sixth across the league in several key categories.
His athletic versatility was matched by academic dedication; he graduated in May with a Master of Liberal Arts degree, having balanced a rigorous course load with a demanding varsity schedule.
The recognition extends beyond the national team honor; Winebrenner also earned placement on the CSC Academic All‑District squad and was named to the ABCA/Rawlings NCAA Division I All‑Atlantic Region Second Team, underscoring his impact in the Mid‑Atlantic baseball community.
Teammates and coaches alike praised his leadership, noting that his presence helped the Spiders secure an Atlantic 10 All‑First Team berth and compete strongly throughout the season.
While the 2026 season marks the end of his collegiate eligibility, Winebrenner’s blend of scholarly achievement and athletic excellence sets a high bar for future student‑athletes at Richmond and beyond.
