Colorado Springs, Colorado - The New Mexico Highlands Cowboys had eight players named to the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference All-Academic Honor Roll, the league office announced on Friday afternoon.
The Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Academic Honor Roll recognizes student-athletes in each conference-sponsored sport who academically maintain at least a 3.30 cumulative grade-point average, have completed two consecutive semesters at their current institution, and have used a season of competition.
Each institution's athletic communications directors nominate student-athletes who academically maintain at least a 3.50 cumulative grade point average, along with the other criteria for the Academic Honor Roll, for recognition on the First Team Academic All-RMAC in each sport. The league's athletic communications directors for that sport vote to compose the First Team Academic All-RMAC and select the Academic Player of the Year. They are not permitted to vote for their own student-athletes.
Cowboys honored by the RMAC:
The Cowboys finished 2025 with a 6-5 record in 2025, the most wins in a season by the NMHU program since the 2012 team won eight games.
