The Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) announced its 2025-26 NCAA Division II Cobalt Golf All-America Scholars on Monday (August 1), with five Rockhurst men's golfers earning the prestigious academic honor. The Hawks were one of only six NCAA Division II programs in the nation to have five student-athletes recognized, tying for the second-most selections of any school.

Representing Rockhurst on this year's Cobalt Golf All-America Scholar Team are Adam Challoner, Lander Guibert, Kingston Solomon, Ashton Vinton, and Mike Wolski.

A total of 209 NCAA Division II student-athletes from 77 institutions received Cobalt Golf All-America Scholar recognition during the 2025-26 academic year. Rockhurst joined Catawba, Eckerd, Miles, St. Mary's (Texas), and West Florida as the only programs with five honorees, while Tiffin and UMSL led the nation with six selections each.

The Cobalt Golf All-America Scholar Award recognizes student-athletes who excel both on the course and in the classroom. To be eligible, nominees must be academically and athletically classified as a sophomore, junior or senior, compete in at least 50 percent of their team's competitive rounds, maintain a stroke average below 78.0 in NCAA Division II competition, and own a minimum cumulative career grade-point average of 3.2. Recipients must also be in good academic standing and demonstrate high moral character.

The recognition continues Rockhurst's tradition of academic excellence, with the Hawks once again ranking among the nation's top Division II programs for producing high-achieving student-athletes.
