Five Bruno seniors earned the year-end honor for the fourth time in their respective careers: Tristan Crozier, Dorian Dawson, Jake Harris, Justin Jallen, and Michael Maloney.

Junior Samuli Niinisaari was named to the list for the third time of his career. The Ivy League All-Academic team selection was named to the Commissioner's List as Brown's top scholar-athlete.
