PITMAN, N.J. – Nina Branchizio, Malin Jasinski, Rayhanah Ahmed, and Gavin Formon headlined a lengthy roster of TCNJ student-athletes who were recognized on the 2024-25 NJAC All-Academic Team, released Monday by the league office.

The Lions racked up 186 All-Academic Team honorees, just six off Montclair State for the league lead.

Branchizio and Jasinski were the Lions' two nominees for the All-Academic First Team, while Ahmed and Formon were the two nominees for the All-Academic Second Team.

Each full member institution selects one female and one male for both the First and Second All-Academic teams. The members of the First and Second All-Academic teams were honored at the annual NJAC Awards Brunch in mid-June.

Branchizio was named NJAC Player of the Year in women's basketball after a senior campaign in which she broke TCNJ's single-season and career records for 3-pointers. A first-team All-NJAC and first team all-region selection, Branchizio became the third player in program history to collect College Sports Communicators Academic All-America recognition with a third-team nomination.
 
Jasinski was named a first-team All-American by both the AFCA and D3football.com after shattering single-season school records for receptions (99) and yards (1,378), finishing second in all of Division III in receptions per game (9.9) and receiving yards per game (137.8) as well as fourth in total receiving yards; he also led the NJAC with eight receiving touchdowns. He leaves TCNJ as the program's all-time leader in receptions with 169, and his 2,053 career receiving yards place him second on the all-time charts. The NJAC Offensive Player of the Year, Jasinski was also a first-team Academic All-America selection by the CSC, the first in program history to attain that honor.

Last year's All-Academic First Team selection for the Lions, Ahmed (field hockey) was a second-team NFHCA All-American and the NJAC Offensive Player of the Year in 2024, collecting first-team All-NJAC and first-team all-region honors for the fourth straight year. She is a three-year member of the NFHCA National Academic Squad and the NJAC All-Academic Team.

Formon (men's swimming) swam to All-America honors in the 400 IM and the 800 free relay at the NCAA Championships and was named to the CSC Academic All-America Second Team. He was the NJAC runner-up in the 400 IM, the 500 and 1650 free, and the 800 free relay, and enters his senior season as an 8-time All-American and a three-time first-team CSCAA Scholar All-America honoree.

To be named to the NJAC All-Academic Team, student-athletes must have attained a minimum 3.20 GPA, completed 24 class credits/been at least a sophomore in class standing, and participated only in NJAC-sponsored sports.
