The Cavalier Court of Excellence was established in 2015 to recognize student athletes who demonstrate excellence in the classroom and in competition, while demonstrating high levels of responsibility, respect, integrity, sportsmanship and servant leadership. The honored students must be a junior or senior and hold a minimum 3.5 GPA.
Coaches can nominate a student-athlete through this form for the 2026 Cavalier Court of Excellence. Nominations for the 2026 Cavalier Court will be accepted by head coaches from November 1 through November 12, 2025.
