SAN ANTONIO – Luke Malone has been named to the 2022 Conference USA All-Academic Team as announced by the conference office on Monday.
Malone, a redshirt-junior and Round Rock, Texas native, was one of 11 C-USA players honored with the recognition. Besides being UTSA's ace on the mound, Malone carries a 4.0 GPA as he works on his Master's in Health Science and Kinesiology. Academics are a constant for Malone, as the All-Academic Team recognition adds to his already impressive academic achievements as he has earned the Conference USA Commissioner's Academic Medal and Conference USA Honor Roll recognitions in all three seasons he has been with the Roadrunners.
Congrats to Luke Malone, who has been selected to the @ConferenceUSA All-Academic Team!
