Four Bulldogs Earn Academic All-District Honors, Richie Academic All-American Finalist

STARKVILLE – Four Mississippi State men's golfers were named to the College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District team this week.

The Bulldogs were represented by Harrison Davis, Garrett Endicott, Ugo Malcor and Dain Richie. This is the third All-District selection for Davis and second for Endicott while Malcor and Richie earn their first. Richie was also named a CSC Academic All-American finalist.

Richie completed his first season in the Maroon and White after transferring from Southern Illinois, where he was named to the MVC Scholar-Athlete First Team. He was a two-time NJCAA DII All-Academic First Team selection as a junior college golfer at Parkland College in Illinois. He was one of two Bulldogs to start in every team tournament this season, finishing the year with a team-best 20 par or better rounds. He led the team with six top-20 finishes and was one of two players with a sub-72 scoring average.

Davis, who earned his master's degree this spring, is a three-time SEC Honor Roll selection and has been named to the SEC Community Service Team twice. He put together his best season at MSU in 2024-25, competing in 10 events with four top-20 finishes and two top 10s. He put together five rounds in the 60s, which is a career high.

Endicott makes his second appearance on the Academic All-District team after having a stellar junior campaign. He finished the season with a team-leading two top fives and three top 10s. He put together the best scoring average on the team (71.58) with 11 rounds in the 60s. He was named a PING All-Region selection and earned SEC Golfer of the Week honors for his runner-up finish at the Desert Mountain Collegiate.

Malcor made a strong mark in his first season at MSU, having transferred from VCU. The Frenchman finished with two top 10s and three top 20s, highlighted by a sixth-place showing at the Old Waverly Collegiate Championship. He compiled 14 rounds of par or better, which ranked third on the team.

The Academic All-America program was created in 1952. Student-athletes must have at least a 3.50 cumulative GPA and must have been in the lineup for 70 percent of an institution's team scoring events or the conference tournament.
