Two members of the Calvin men's soccer team have received College Sports Communicators Academic All-District honors. The two individuals to receive the honor include junior Matt Torrell and sophomore James Jackson.

He was MIAA Offensive Player of the Week once this fall. He was later named the MIAA's Most Valuable Player and landed a spot on the All-MIAA First Team.

JAMES JACKSON (Cleves, Oh./ Saint Xavier)

Also a midfielder, Jackson is receiving CSC Academic All-District honors for the first time. He is majoring in accounting and financial planning. He has been a two-time member of the Calvin Dean's List and a member of the 2024-25 MIAA Academic Honor Roll.
