DECATUR, Illinois — Five Millikin University baseball players were named to the 2026 Academic All-District® teams, selected by College Sports Communicators, recognizing the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the field and in the classroom. The CSC Academic All-America® program separately recognizes softball honorees in four divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and NAIA.

The Millikin players named Academic All-District® for NCAA III include:
