COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Fort Lewis College junior midfielder David Citron is the 2024 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Men’s Soccer Academic Player of the Year, leading a 14-member First Team Academic All-RMAC Team as selected by the league’s athletic communications directors.

The Toulouse, France product entered his junior season with a 4.00 GPA as a business administration major. Citron led the Skyhawks on the field with six goals, nine assists, and 21 points, ranking ninth, second, and fifth in the league, respectively. He had two five-point performances in 2024, first against Lubbock Christian (2 goals & assist) and then in league play against South Dakota Mines (2 goals, 1 assist). Citron returned to Durango this season after earning RMAC All-Tournament honors last season.

Citron leads a 14-member First Team Academic All-RMAC group with nine of the league’s 11 men’s soccer-sponsoring institutions represented. Three selections are repeat honorees: Colorado School of Mines senior midfielder Quin Collins, CSU Pueblo graduate defender Shjon Andrews, and CSU Pueblo graduate defender Dylan Zavatini.

In addition, the RMAC recognized 95 student-athletes, including the 14 Academic All-RMAC honorees, on its 2024 Men’s Soccer Academic Honor Roll.

The Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Academic Honor Roll recognizes student-athletes in each conference-sponsored sport who academically maintain at least a 3.30 cumulative grade-point average, have completed two consecutive semesters at their current institution, and have used a season of competition.

Each institution’s athletic communications directors nominate student-athletes who academically maintain at least a 3.50 cumulative grade point average, along with the other criteria for the Academic Honor Roll, for recognition on the First Team Academic All-RMAC in each sport. The league’s athletic communications directors for that sport vote to compose the First Team Academic All-RMAC and select the Academic Player of the Year. They are not permitted to vote for their own student-athletes.
