Two William Jewell College men’s basketball players earned Daktronics-NAIA Scholar-Athlete status from the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics.
Players honored are junior Jonathan Benson and senior Ben Monaco.
In order to earn Daktronics-NAIA Scholar-Athlete status, a player must be a junior or above in academic standing, be in attendance at their nominating institution for one full year, and have a Grade Point Average of at least 3.50 (on a 4.00 scale) for the current academic year.
“I am thrilled for these two young men,” said head coach Larry Holley. “They truly are student athletes in every sense of the word and I am proud of the work they have put into the classroom.”
