It turns out the Eckerd men's golf team isn't just dialed in from the tee box; they're actually hitting the books, too.
We all know the vibe at Eckerd. It’s waterfront sunsets, hammocks, and—apparently—a bunch of guys who actually study while the rest of us are wondering if the Mahi are biting off the pier.
The GCAA (Golf Coaches Association of America) just dropped their list of Cobalt All-America Scholars for the 2025-26 season, and the Tritons are showing out. We aren’t talking about just one standout student-athlete; we’re talking about five guys who managed to keep their GPA high enough to impress a bunch of suits in Norman, Oklahoma, while still grinding on the green.
Eckerd’s heavy hitters—Josh DiZinno, Thayne Thomas, Reggie Fear, Tyler Van Dusen, and Drew Campbell—all snagged the honor.
To be clear, this isn't a participation trophy for showing up to class once a week. These guys are balancing the brutal mental game of collegiate golf with the kind of academic workload that makes us want to take a nap just thinking about it. While most of Pinellas is focused on their handicap, these Tritons are maintaining the kind of balance that would make a yoga instructor jealous.
It’s a massive win for the program and a reminder that while South St. Pete might be the most relaxed place on earth, the work ethic at the collegiate level is anything but. Cheers to the Tritons for proving you can be a shark in the classroom and a menace on the fairways.
