The Broncos had a 3.56 team grade point average and earned the award for the ninth consecutive year.

The American Baseball Coaches Association is proud to celebrate nearly 800 member high school and college programs nationwide that have earned the 2025-26 ABCA Team Academic Excellence Award, presented by Sports Attack. 

Coaches could nominate their teams for the ABCA Team Academic Excellence Award following the conclusion of their spring semesters. To be honored, teams had to meet the following criteria:

• Must be a high school or college team
