Harmon Marien Named First-Ever ACA Academic All-American

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — The 2024-25 season of the Bass Pro Shops Collegiate Bass Fishing Series will mark the Association of Collegiate Anglers' 20th year operating major college fishing tournaments. As part of this year-long celebration, the ACA will create a variety of new programs and features to showcase the success of student Anglers on and off the water and highlight and look back at major milestones from the past 20 years.

New for this upcoming historic season, the ACA is announcing the creation of the All-Academic Team for the 2024-25 school year. This award and nomination process is designed to reward student Anglers for their success in the classroom. At the ACA's annual Angler & Sponsor Banquet, an Academic All-American will be selected from the 12 All-Academic Team recipients from that season.

Graduate student Harmon Marien was selected to receive the first-ever Academic All-American Award based on both his performance in the classroom and on the water. The award, which is co-sponsored by Yamaha, comes with a $2,000 scholarship.

"Harmon is incredibly deserving of this award," added head coach Jon Rinderer. "I can honestly say I've never seen anyone more dedicated to both academics and fishing. He gets more out of 24 hours than anyone I've ever met."
