NORMAN, Okla. – Davidson’s Brian Garrett, Ethan Hall and Will Davis have been named 2022-23 GCAA All-America Scholars, as announced Wednesday afternoon.

To be eligible for GCAA All-America Scholar nomination, an individual must be a sophomore, junior or senior both academically and athletically in NCAA Division I, II, III, and NAIA, or receiving their associate’s degree and in their last year of athletic eligibility in the NJCAA.

“I am very proud of Brian, Ethan and Will for earning Academic All-America honors,” commented four-time A-10 Coach of the Year Tim Straub. “They all have shown an outstanding commitment to being true scholar athletes, not just winning championships on the golf course but in the classroom.”

In addition, they must participate in 50% of their team’s competitive rounds, have a stroke average under 76.0 in NCAA Division I, under 78.0 in NCAA Division II, under 79.0 in NCAA Division III, under 78.0 in NAIA, and under 77.0 in NJCAA, and maintain a minimum cumulative career grade-point average of 3.2. A recipient must also be of high moral character and be in good standing at their college or university.

Since 1997, 20 different Wildcats have received this prestigious honor, while 12 scholar-athletes under Straub’s leadership earned the distinction multiple times, including Viraj Garewal ’22 and Clayton Tribus ’22, who were the program’s first three-time recipients.

546 NCAA Division I athletes from 193 schools earned 2022-23 GCAA All-America Scholar honors.
