MISENHEIMER — A pair of Pfeiffer University baseball players — Hunter Huneycutt and Austin Wood — are among the honorees included in the 2025 Academic All-District Baseball Teams as selected by College Sports Communicators (CSC).

Each year, CSC releases its list of district academic honors to recognize the nation’s top student-athletes for their combined performances on the baseball field and in the classroom.

The CSC Academic All-America program separately recognizes honorees in NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and NAIA.

For the 2024-25 academic year, Huneycutt and Wood are Pfeiffer’s two representatives among 25 student-athletes from the USA South Athletic Conference; Brevard, Greensboro, Methodist, N.C. Wesleyan, Southern Virginia, and William Peace are the other six conference teams that are represented.

Academic All-District honorees were considered for advancement to the CSC Academic All-America ballot, with student-athletes selected as All-America finalists denoted with an asterisk on the list.

Huneycutt was included in this special category.

The rising sophomore third-baseman for Pfeiffer will now advance to the national ballot to be voted on by CSC members; first-team, second-team and third-team All-America honorees will be announced on July 1. The voting process began on June 3 and closes on June 17.

In his redshirt season during the Falcons’ 2025 campaign (14-26, 9-12 conf.), Huneycutt batted .377 with 55 hits and 33 runs in his 146 at-bats. When going against USA South opposition, he was seventh in the conference with a .424 batting average with all five of his home runs.

The Laurinburg native also became the second Falcon (first since Bryce Marsh 2019) to be named as the USA South Baseball Rookie of the Year, and he was given Second-Team All-Conference honors along with USA South Rookie of the Week honors.

The NCAA Division III CSC Academic All-America program is partially financially supported by the NCAA Division III national governance structures to assist CSC with handling the awards fulfillment aspects for the 2024-25 Division III Academic All-America programs.
