Three from Big Ten Net Academic All-America Honors

ROSEMONT, Ill. – Three Big Ten men’s soccer student-athletes have been selected as Academic All-Americans by members of the College Sports Communicators (CSC), the organization announced on Tuesday. Washington’s Richie Aman was named to the First Team, while UCLA’s Sergi Solans Ormo claimed a spot on the Second Team and Rutgers’ Joschi Schelb on the Third Team.

The 2025 Academic All-America Men's Soccer Teams are selected by College Sports Communicators to recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances in the men's soccer season and in the classroom. The CSC Academic All-America program separately recognizes men's soccer honorees in four divisions – NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III, and NAIA. 

Aman, who was recently named a First Team All-American by the United Soccer Coaches, has started all 24 matches for the Huskies and ranks third in the country with a Big Ten-best 14 assists. The psychology major was also named Big Ten Midfielder of the Year while leading Washington to its first NCAA championship on Monday night.  

Solans Ormo joined Aman with All-America honors, securing a Second Team selection. The sophomore International Development Studies major started all 19 fixtures and led the Bruins with 16 goals and 38 points, including a program record three hat tricks. One of those hat tricks came in the Big Ten Tournament championship game, the first in tournament final history, leading UCLA to the 2025 Big Ten Tournament championship.

Schelb earned All-Big Ten Second Team accolades after leading the Scarlet Knights with seven goals, four assists, and 18 total points. The junior economics major scored six goals in Rutgers’ first six games, including a hat trick against William & Mary, the program’s first since 2016.

In order to be considered for Academic All-America status, students must not only maintain a minimum 3.30 GPA, but must also be a starter or key reserve, competing in at least 50 percent of their school’s contests.
