Three Men's Basketball Players Named CSC Academic All-District

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - - Three Belmont University men's basketball players have been named 2025-26 College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District, the organization announced Tuesday.
 
Tyler Lundblade, Brigham Rogers, and Drew Scharnowski represent Belmont on this year's team.
 
Lundblade holds a 4.0 GPA in the Belmont MBA program. The Dallas, Texas native was named 2026 Larry Bird Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year after leading Belmont to the MVC regular season championship. He leads the conference in five statistical categories, including first nationally in free throw percentage (.934) and sixth nationally in 3-point field goals per game (3.59).
 
In addition to being named CSC Academic All-District last year, Lundblade was named the 2025-26 MVC Men's Basketball Scholar-Athlete of the Year and is a two-time DI-AAA Athletics Directors Association Scholar-Athlete Team honoree.
 
Rogers holds a 3.63 GPA in finance. An invaluable and steadying force for Belmont, Rogers emerged as one of the most versatile frontcourt defenders in the MVC.
 
The Woodstock, Georgia native ranks among MVC leaders in blocked shots and offensive rebounds, and ranks 15^th nationally in two-point field goal percentage (.722).
 
This is Rogers' second CSC Academic All-District honor.
 
Scharnowski holds a 3.82 GPA in exercise science. The Burlington, Illinois native ranks among league leaders in eight statistical categories, including scoring, rebounding, assists, blocked shots, field goal percentage, and usage rate. Scharnowski posted 17 double figure scoring games, including four double-doubles.
 
Based on his athletic and academic achievements, Lundblade will advance for CSC Academic All-America consideration.
 
CSC Academic All-America selections for men's basketball will be announced April 14.
