KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The North Carolina Central men's basketball team had five Eagles honored by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) for academic success during the 2025-26 season.

The NABC Honors Court recognizes academically eligible juniors, seniors, and graduate students who finished the academic year with a cumulative grade point average of 3.2 or higher this past season.

Ryan Archey, Gbenga Olubi, Kelechi Okworogwo, Ramondo Battle II and Justin Edwards all achieved this honor, named to the NABC Honors Court, joining over 2,300 student-athletes.

"College basketball student-athletes do incredible things on the court, but their achievements in the classroom are equally worthy of celebration," said NABC Executive Director Craig Robinson. "Education is one of the NABC's core values, and the hundreds of programs and thousands of athletes represented on these awards reinforce the commitment to academic success that exists across all levels of our sport."
