With the spring season in the books for college athletics, nationwide programs are shifting focus to the 2024-2025 academic year. However, the Big Ten honored 28 students named Outstanding Sportsmanship Award winners on Tuesday. Two Rutgers athletes were honored.
This year, the Scarlet Knights were represented by Xavier Marcoux and Leigha Devine. They both had impressive seasons for Rutgers golf, but as Tuesday showed, their impact exceeded their statistics. One member of each varsity sports team on every campus was chosen by their school as a Sportsmanship Award honoree and two Outstanding Sportsmanship Award winners were then selected from each school.

While Marcoux and Devine made headlines, they were not the only Rutgers athletes with something to celebrate. The Scarlet Knights, who were Big Ten Sportsmanship Honorees, include Chris Hill, Cole Cutters, Rylee Ferretti, Allison Lynch, Oskar Palmquist, and Sonny Fauci.

Over the next few months, Rutgers athletes will get well-deserved rest before returning to action. For many, Tuesday was a milestone that showed how much each athlete means to their school.
