TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Alabama had three student-athletes named to the College Sports Communicators’ Academic All-District Team for baseball, the CSC announced Tuesday.

The Crimson Tide’s three honorees include Zane Adams, Tyler Fay, and Will Hodo. The trio are part of a total of 21 baseball players that have earned a combined 28 all-district accolades in Alabama history. With their selection, UA has had least one all-district honoree in each of the last six seasons dating back to 2020. Prior to the current stretch, Alabama had not had an Academic All-District Team member since 2011.

In total, Alabama has earned 10 Academic All-America honors since 1972, including first-team honorees Dr. Jeff Laubenthal (1993), Lance Cormier (2002) and Emeel Salem (2006, 07). The most recent Academic All-America selection for the Tide was Owen Diodati when he was named as a third-teamer in 2022.

The CSC Academic All-America program recognizes the nation’s top student-athletes for their combined performances on the diamond and in the classroom.
