EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Two Michigan State men's tennis players were named Academic All-District®, as selected by College Sports Communicators on Tuesday.
Junior Ozan Baris and senior Max Sheldon were the two Spartans earning the accolades.
The 2024-25 Academic All-District® Men's Tennis teams recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the court and in the classroom.
Baris, a native of Okemos, Michigan, has a 3.787 GPA majoring in communication. On the court, he earned First Team All-Big Ten accolades, logging 23 overall singles wins this season, including 10 during dual action.
Sheldon, an Arlington Heights, Illinois native, graduated this spring with a 3.569 and a degree in finance. On the court, he established a new MSU's program record with 170 all-time combined wins. Sheldon grabbed All-Big Ten Second Team honors, and posted 26 singles wins during the 2024-25 season, including 18 in dual matches.
The Spartans ended their 2024-25 campaign at 17-10, concluding their season in the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the second year in a row. Overall, Michigan State was making its third appearance in the NCAA Tournament, first doing so in 2013.
MSU's 17-10 overall record gives the Green & White 40 wins over last two years, the most wins in back-to-back seasons since 2012-13, the Spartans' previous NCAA Tournament trip when current head coach Harry Jadun was a sophomore student-athlete.
