CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The ACC announced its 2026 All-ACC Academic Men's Swimming Team on Wednesday morning, with Stanford featured prominently. 14 Cardinal student-athletes were named to the All-ACC Academic Team, one shy of Louisville for the most in the ACC. Additionally, Henry McFadden was named the ACC Scholar-Athlete of the Year in men's swimming.
It was an incredible season for McFadden, culminating in two ACC titles and three All-America honors. He was fastest in the ACC in the 200 free, defending his ACC title from 2025, and wound up finishing third at NCAAs in the 200 free with a Stanford record of 1:30.13. He was also on Stanford's 800 free relay team that won the ACC title and finished second at NCAAs.
McFadden holds a 3.79 grade point average as a computer science major. He was named a College Sports Communicator's (CSC) Third Team Academic All-American last year.
2026 marks the second consecutive season Stanford has had the ACC's Scholar-Athlete of the Year. Jack Ryan was the recipient last year.
This year, the ACC removed graduate students from eligibility for the All-ACC Academic Team, meaning only undergraduates are eligible. Academic requirements for selection to the All-ACC Academic Team include a 3.0-grade point average for the previous three quarters and a 3.0 cumulative average during one’s academic career, while being enrolled at the institution for at least one year and being classified as an undergraduate student. In addition, student-athletes must compete in at least 50 percent of their team’s athletic contests.
