COLORADO SPRINGS - Thirty-four members of the Colorado School of Mines football program have earned spots on the 2025 Academic All-RMAC teams for their work in the classroom.

Five Orediggers received First-Team Academic All-RMAC nods for their outstanding combination of athletic and academic achievement: running back Max Barnes, safeties Joel Diaz and Will Ramsey, kicker Preston Kyle, and punter Lucas LeSieur.

In addition, 29 Mines student-athletes earned RMAC Academic Honor Roll spots for holding a cumulative GPA of 3.3 or above: Evan Bish, Will Bisso, William Brown, Jackson Cimino, Ty Deppe, Brayden Duerksen, Brock Ewing, Carter Forsythe, Caleb Frink, Austin Gonzalez, Clayton Jacobs, Bryce Jewell, Tyson Kestner, Tyson Mauck, Connor McGrath, Konnor Mickelsen, Jack Mills, Chris Nimcheski, Quinn Oleson, Davis Perkins, Mo Russolillo, Jaxon Sayers, Luke Shavey, Blake Smotherman, Josh Snyder, Nick Stone, Jake Sype, Brock Zanetell, and Jackson Zimmermann.

Each institution's athletic communications directors nominate student-athletes who academically maintain at least a 3.50 cumulative grade point average, along with the other criteria for the Academic Honor Roll, for recognition on the First Team Academic All-RMAC in each sport. The league's athletic communications directors vote to compose the First Team Academic All-RMAC and select the Academic Player of the Year.
