AUSTIN, Texas – Regis University seniors Adam Paniagua and Clayton Conn have been voted to the College Sports Communicators (CSC) 2025 Academic All-America® baseball teams, the organization announced Tuesday.

Paniagua was selected as the Second Team All-American catcher, the fifth Ranger to garner this level of recognition, and the first since 2023 (Matt Marlow). Conn was voted a Third Team All-American infielder, the fourth in Ranger's history (most recent-Patrick Farrell, 2010).

11 student-athletes earned spots on the First and Second Teams, while 12 made the Third. Regis was one of just four schools with multiple players on the All-America teams.
