COMMERCE – East Texas A&M University had six student-athletes named to the Academic All-District teams, as selected by the College Sports Communicators in the at-large category with three each from the Lion men's and women's golf teams. 

Golf is the lone sport at East Texas A&M that is included in the at-large category for the CSC Academic All-America program. The Lion women selected to the All-District team are Marie Baertz (Luxembourg), Tais Moreno (Santa Cruz, Bolivia), and Marie Naeher (Neuenbuerg, Germany). The honorees for the Lion men are Janis Erll (Lich, Germany), Davis Seybert (Trinity Midland), and Matt Walters (Ballito, South Africa). 

All six Lion honorees have also been selected to the Southland Conference All-Academic teams following the 2025-26 season. 

Baertz is a construction engineering major and placed 12th at the conference championships, while earning second team all-conference honors. Moreno had a scoring average of 80.4 during the season, while being a psychology major. Naeher received her bachelor's degree in political science last month and had a scoring average of 79.7.
