The Blinn College District has named 234 student-athletes to the spring 2026 Don Wilhelm Athletic Director's Honor Roll.
To be eligible, student-athletes must post a 3.0 or better grade point average (GPA) with at least 12 credit hours.
The women's golf team led all Blinn athletic programs with a 3.72 GPA, while the softball team followed closely with a GPA of 3.59. Baseball had the most honor roll students with 35.
Fifty-one student-athletes achieved a perfect 4.0 grade point average: baseball players Gage Belknap, Carson Cherry, Ace Daigle, AJ DePaolo, Landon Ellstrom, Austin Glasscock, Noah Gutierrez, Bryce Robinson, and Tucker Tittle; softball players Annie Beckendorf, Kourtney Carter, Lexi Fief, Skylar Flanagan, Londyn Holland, Avery Marquart, Madysen Taylor, and Jamison Wlos; dancers Cathryn Garza, Rhyan Sandel, Olivia Singleton, and Jordyn and Sydney Spiller; women's golfers Jacqueline Lawrence, Ava Murcer, Landry Poulin, Arianna Rodriguez, and Lillie Webster; volleyball players Jessa Frosch, Aliyah Harris, Karolina Karabasz, and Zoey Montgomery; men's golfers Heuiseung Kim, Robert Robinson, and Dalton Winkelmann; men's soccer players Nawfal Hadj-Hamou, Alfredo Morales Mendez, and Geoff Ojango; women's cross country runners Brooke Berryman, Belicia Delk, and Juliana Jeansonne; esports players Gage Cole and Pablo Tarazaga; football players Brady Buchanan and Jude Hernandez; men's basketball player Tyson Mobley and team manager Sean Yates; women's basketball players Trina Franklin and Phoenix Sneed; women's soccer players Dana Campos and Saya Shiratsuki; and cheerleader Raegan Yost.
"Each year, it is one of my great honors as Blinn College's athletic director to recognize our outstanding student-athletes, not only for their tremendous athletic achievements, but also for their hard work and success in the classroom," Blinn Athletic Director Scott Schumacher said. "Blinn's student-athletes continue to set the standard in athletic and academic excellence, and our department could not be prouder."
The honor roll is named after former Blinn Athletic Director Don Wilhelm, an NJCAA Hall of Famer who served the College for 10 years.
