ONEONTA, N.Y. - For the second season in a row, Oneonta men's soccer senior Dillon Kelly (Wappingers Falls, N.Y./Beacon) is a College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District honoree. Kelly, a biology major with a pre-med focus, currently has a 3.91 cumulative GPA.

The 2025-26 Academic All-District® Men's and Women's Soccer Teams, selected by College Sports Communicators, recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the field 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.

This past season, Kelly was the SUNYAC Men's Soccer Elite 20 recipient, which recognizes the essence of the student-athlete by honoring the individual who has reached the pinnacle of competition at the conference championship level in his sport, while also achieving the highest academic standard among his peers. 

Kelly started all 21 games for Oneonta and totaled 1,666 minutes of play this season as a defensive back, recording a goal and an assist for three points. The senior captain scored his first collegiate goal on a PK against Canton, while he assisted on one of the 10 goals Oneonta scored at Potsdam. Additionally, Kelly was an All-SUNYAC Third Team selection.

Academic All-District® honorees were considered for advancement to the CSC Academic All-America® ballot. Student-athletes selected as CSC Academic All-America® finalists are denoted with an asterisk and will advance to the national ballot to be voted on by CSC members. First-, second- and third-team Academic All-America® honorees will be announced Dec. 16, 2025 (men) and Dec. 17, 2025 (women).
