DURHAM, N.C. – Four Blue Devils represent Duke on the 2025-26 Men's Golf All-ACC Academic Team, the conference office announced Monday, as seniors Daniel Choi, Ethan Evans and William Love, along with junior Bryan Kim, were recognized for their academic achievements.
Â
Love is just the seventh golfer in program history to earn All-ACC Academic Team honors four times, joining Ian Siebers (2021-24), Adam Long (2007-10), Julian Suri (2010-13), Brinson Paolini (2010-13), Jake Shuman (2015-18) and Alex Smalley (2016-19).
Â
Evans and Kim each garnered All-ACC Academic Team distinction for the third time, while Choi collected the honor for the second time.
Â
Choi (psychology), Evans (economics) and Love (economics) each earned bachelor's degrees in May.
Â
In addition to their success in the classroom, the four Blue Devils helped Duke produce one of the program's strongest seasons on the course. Under the direction of first-year head coach Bob Heintz, the 2025-26 Blue Devils recorded seven top-five finishes, highlighted by a victory at the Rod Myers Invitational and four runner-up showings. Duke also advanced through NCAA Regional competition and placed 13th at the NCAA Championship, the program's best national finish since 2018.
Â
The Blue Devils established several team records during the season, highlighted by a program-record 27 under-par rounds, surpassing the previous mark of 21 set in 2022-23. Duke also finished with a 283.86 team stroke average, the second-best single-season mark in program history.
Â
To be eligible for consideration, student-athletes must maintain a 3.0 grade-point average for the previous semester and a 3.0 cumulative grade-point average during their academic careers. In addition, student-athletes must compete in at least 50 percent of their team's contests.
