CSC Academic All-District Selection Criteria
To be eligible for CSC Academic All-District recognition, student-athletes must meet rigorous academic and athletic standards. Nominees must be at least a sophomore academically and athletically and be enrolled at their institution at the time of nomination.
Academically, undergraduate and graduate student-athletes must carry a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.50 on a 4.0 scale, which may not be rounded up.

For football-specific eligibility, student-athletes must have competed in at least 90 percent of the institution's games played or started in at least 66 percent of the games during the season.
Robert Goehl
Goehl was a consistent presence on Truman's defensive front, appearing in all 12 games during the 2025 campaign. He finished the season with 62 total tackles, including 7.5 tackles for loss and a sack, helping anchor a defense that limited opposing rushing attacks and applied steady pressure up front.
Nathan Ryan
Ryan led the Bulldogs in receiving touchdowns in 2025, catching nine scores while totaling 596 receiving yards on 36 receptions. His ability to stretch the field and finish drives was a key factor in Truman's offensive success as the Bulldogs averaged more than 34 points per game.
Ryan Hall
Hall was a mainstay on Truman's offensive line during the 2025 season, appearing in all 12 games and helping anchor a unit that powered one of the most productive offenses in the GLVC. The Bulldogs averaged more than 408 yards of total offense per game, including 202.6 rushing yards per contest, while allowing just four interceptions all season. Hall's consistency up front played a key role in Truman's ability to sustain drives and protect the quarterback throughout the year.
Jaxin Patterson
Patterson delivered an impactful season on the defensive side of the ball, finishing with 75 total tackles, 10 tackles for loss, and three sacks. He also recorded two interceptions, returning one for a touchdown, and was a major contributor to Truman's ability to create turnovers and negative plays.
Jackson Overton
Overton made contributions in multiple phases of the game, totaling 32 receptions for 417 yards and two touchdowns while also adding rushing attempts during the season. His versatility supported a Bulldog offense that combined an effective ground game with a productive passing attack.
Mason Crim
Crim played an important role along the defensive line, finishing the season with 20 total tackles, including four tackles for loss. His efforts helped Truman control the line of scrimmage and limit opponents in conference play.
Jacob Carmack
Carmack added depth and disruption to the Bulldogs' defensive front, recording 31 total tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss, and 2.5 sacks. His ability to penetrate the backfield contributed to Truman's aggressive defensive approach throughout the season.
Tucker McDowell
McDowell rounded out the Academic All-District group with a strong defensive campaign, totaling 31 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, and three sacks. His presence up front helped Truman hold opponents to fewer than 114 rushing yards per game.
The CSC Academic All-District program recognizes student-athletes who demonstrate excellence in both academics and athletics. Several of these Bulldogs will advance to the national ballot for CSC Academic All-America consideration.
