The Cavalier Court of Excellence was established in 2015 to recognize student-athletes who demonstrate excellence in the classroom and in competition, while also 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 2027 Cavalier Court of Excellence. Nominations by head coaches for the 2027 Cavalier Court of Excellence will be accepted from Nov. 1 through Nov. 10, 2026.
