EASTON, Mass. (June 4, 2025) – Senior Max Brulport and sophomore Grayson Sparr of the Stonehill College baseball program have been named to the 2025 College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District® Team.
 
The CSC Academic All-District® program honors the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the field and in the classroom. The Academic All-America® program, administered by College Sports Communicators, recognizes honorees in four distinct divisions: NCAA Division I, II, III, and NAIA.
 
Brulport and Sparr each earn Academic All-District® recognition for the first time in their collegiate careers. Brulport, a management major, holds a 3.60 cumulative GPA, while Sparr, a sports management major, has compiled a 3.69 GPA.
 
Sparr made an immediate impact in his first full collegiate season after missing his freshman year due to injury. The sophomore standout was named the 2025 Northeast Conference (NEC) Rookie of the Year and earned First Team All-NEC honors. He appeared in 48 of Stonehill's 50 games, ranking among the team's top three in multiple offensive categories, including batting average (.348), OPS (1.055), hits (56), RBI (48), total bases (95), and slugging percentage (.590). Sparr recorded 16 multi-hit games, including one of just two four-hit performances by a Skyhawk this season, and added 13 multi-RBI games to his résumé.
 
Brulport, a Chi Alpha Sigma Honor Society inductee, contributed on the mound across 24 appearances during the 2025 campaign. The senior left-hander posted a 2-2 record with one save, which came in a March 23rd win over Maryland Eastern Shore. He also notched 10 scoreless outings while logging 29.1 innings, finishing with a 7.36 ERA, 1.74 WHIP, and 13 strikeouts.
 
To be eligible for CSC Academic All-District® honors, student-athletes must be in at least their second year at their current institution, hold a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.50, and be either a starter or a significant contributor who has participated in at least 90 percent of their team's contests.
 
About College Sports Communicators
 
College Sports Communicators was founded in 1957 and is a 4,400+ member national association for strategic, creative and digital communicators across intercollegiate athletics in the United States and Canada. The current name of the organization was adopted following a membership-wide vote on Aug. 31, 2022.

From its founding in 1957 until the 2022 name change, the organization was known as College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).

The name change signaled a major step in a larger strategic plan to highlight the association's evolution and expansion. The move better aligns with the association's membership makeup and further positions the organization to support and advocate for its members who serve in the communications, digital and creative college sports industry, regardless of position or title.

The organization, which celebrated its 65th year during the 2021-22 academic year, is the second oldest management association in all of intercollegiate athletics. College Sports Communicators became an affiliated partner with NACDA (National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics) in December of 2008.

CSC's membership first reached the 3,000 mark during the 2013-14 school year and has topped that threshold each year since with the exception of the 2020-21 Covid-19 pandemic year. The membership base reached 4,000 for the first time in 2022-23.

Prior to the formation of the organization as CoSIDA in the mid 1950s, sports information directors as a group were a part of the American College Public Relations Association. Most SIDs at those ACPRA meetings eventually felt that a separate organization was needed and that led to CoSIDA's formation. There were 102 members at the original meeting/convention in 1957.
