A Season of Excellence
Jasmine Aikey, a Stanford forward, has been crowned the 2025‑26 Division I Overall Academic All‑American® of the Year, a distinction that underscores her dual mastery on the field and in the classroom.
She powered the Cardinal to a third consecutive Women’s College Cup appearance, tallying 21 goals and 11 assists in a campaign that left opponents scrambling to contain her influence.
Her performances earned her a place on the United Soccer Coaches All‑America First Team and the ACC Tournament Most Valuable Player award, accolades that cement her status among the nation’s elite.
From Campus to Pro
Beyond college, Aikey signed her first professional contract with the NWSL’s Denver Summit FC in January, marking the next step in a promising career that already includes multiple postseason honors.
She joins North Carolina’s Reese Brantmeier and Virginia’s Claire Curzan and Dylan Dietrich as the ACC’s Academic All‑America® Team Member of the Year winners, a group that represents the conference’s most decorated student‑athletes this year.
The four recipients are the most awarded among all conferences, highlighting a historic convergence of athletic prowess and academic distinction.
