First-, second- and third-team Academic All-America® honorees will be announced April 15 (men) and April 16 (women).
 
A marketing major, Solomon is a repeat Academic All-District honoree.

Solomon enjoyed another tremendous campaign, averaging just shy of a double-double (11.6 PPG, 9.8 RPG) and receiving All-NJAC honorable mention while controlling the paint for a Lions team that made a return trip to the NCAA Tournament.

He led the NJAC in both rebounding and double-doubles (11), ranking in the top-30 nationally in total rebounds (274, 16^th), double-doubles (27^th), and rebounds per game (29^th). Solomon led the Lions in field-goal percentage at 51.6 percent, also draining a career-high 19 3-pointers.

Solomon put up the biggest numbers of his career in the NCAA Tournament against Pitt-Bradford, scoring 21 points and hauling in a program-record 22 rebounds. He will enter his senior season fifth on the all-time charts in career rebounds (705).
