Benkovszky, Kim and Wang Earn CSC Academic All-District Honors

GREENWOOD, Ind. — Three members of the Pratt Institute men's volleyball team — senior Max Wang (Shenzhen, China), junior Griffin Benkovszky (Ashland, Va.) and sophomore Nathan Kim (Irvine, Calif.) — have been named to the 2025-26 Academic All-District® At-Large team as selected by College Sports Communicators (CSC).

Wang, an illustration major, adds the academic honor to his on-court accolades after being named to the United East All-Conference Second Team. He concluded a stellar senior campaign leading the Cannoneers in kills (160), service aces (46), and points (209.0), while finishing second on the team with 143 digs.

Benkovszky, a construction management major, and Kim, a graphic design major, were both instrumental to the team's success throughout the season. Benkovszky provided a powerful presence on the outside, finishing second on the team with 111 kills and third with 134 digs. Benkovszky also earned Academic All-District honors in the fall as a member of the men's soccer team. Kim orchestrated the Cannoneer attack from the setter position, distributing a team-high 340 assists while also ranking second on the squad with 22 aces and third with 98 digs. 

The Academic All-District® Teams, selected by College Sports Communicators, recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the court and in the classroom. The CSC Academic All-America® program separately recognizes honorees in four divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and NAIA.
