Denver senior goaltender Matt Davis was selected to the Academic All-America Second Team, while DU senior forward Jack Devine and Western Michigan graduate student forward Tim Washe were tabbed to the Third Team Academic All-America squad.
 
A total of only 45 student-athletes from across 10 NCAA sports were named to this year’s Academic All-America Men’s At-Large Team, with 15 honorees each selected to one of three teams by CSC members.

Devine (Glencoe, Ill.) earned his bachelor’s degree from Denver in June as well, finishing with a 3.72 GPA while also majoring in finance. He is a two-time AHCA First-Team All-American on the ice, as well, including this past 2024-25 season. Devine also garnered First-Team All-NCHC accolades the last two seasons.

In the classroom, Devine is a four-time NCHC Distinguished Scholar-Athlete, four-time member of the NCHC Academic All-Conference Team and garnered All-American Scholars honors from the AHCA as a senior this year.

He is a three-time NCHC Distinguished Scholar-Athlete and four-time NCHC Academic All-Conference Team member in his career, while garnering AHCA All-American Scholars honors in 2024-25 as well.

He was named NCHC Defensive Forward of the Year this past season, leading the NCAA with a 63.1 faceoff win percentage. Washe compiled 38 points on 16 goals and 22 assists in 42 games during WMU’s historic 2024-25 season.
 
Washe finished his career with 74 points (28g/46a) in 171 games, the most games played ever by a Bronco. An undrafted free agent, he signed an entry-level contract with the Anaheim Ducks following the season and played in two games to end the NHL campaign, including his debut at Minnesota on April 15, 2025.
