KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association announced its academic awards for the 2025 men's tennis season. Sixty-one NCAA Division II student-athletes from all 11 MIAA/Great American Conference (GAC) men's tennis institutions were honored by the Association for their work in the classroom. There were also ten players named MIAA Scholar-Athletes and four who earned the Academic Excellence Award. 

The league’s prestigious Academic Excellence Award was achieved by just four men's tennis players in the 2025 season — Nebraska Kearney's Aaron Osmond, Northwest Missouri's Luc Mascitti, Ouachita's Ramon Strassmann and Washburn's Mason Fair.

An Academic Excellence award recipient must have a grade point average used by the institution for purposes of NCAA academic certification of at least 4.00 at the certifying member institution. The honoree also must have at least two terms of grades reported at the certifying member institution, excluding summer terms.

The Scholar-Athlete Award distinction went to ten student-athletes who excelled on the court and in the classroom. In the classroom, a Scholar-Athlete is an individual that has a grade point average used by the institution for purposes of NCAA academic certification of 3.50 or better at the certifying member institution and have at least two terms of attendance at the certifying member institution. On the court, the student-athlete must also receive All-MIAA honors in the current season to achieve the full Scholar-Athlete status. 

Sixty-one MIAA/GAC men's tennis players were named to the 2025 Academic Honor Roll. To be recognized on the league’s Academic Honor Roll, student-athletes must have a grade point average used by the institution for purposes of NCAA academic certification of 3.00 or above at the certifying member institution. They also need at least two terms of attendance at the certifying member institution, excluding summer terms.

Ouachita's Ramon Strassmann, an All-MIAA/GAC men's tennis player with a 4.0 GPA as a finance and business administration major, was the only student-athlete to earn all three of the Association's academic honors.
