KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Penn State Harrisburg's men's basketball team was recently honored by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) for its academic success during the 2025-26 campaign.


As a group, Penn State Harrisburg earned the organization's Team Academic Excellence Award for the third year in a row, while Justin Leddo became the most recent player to be named to the NABC Honors Court.


In order to earn the NABC Team Academic Excellence Award, a program must earn a team grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 or higher after counting the GPAs of all players who competed during the 2025-26 season. To earn selection to the NABC Honors Court, an individual player must carry a GPA of 3.2 or higher during their junior, senior, or graduate seasons.


Leddo appeared in a career-high 26 games and made three starts during his junior campaign. The Queens, N.Y. native averaged 4.1 points and 2.1 rebounds per contest and added 16 total assists on the year. He reached the double-digit scoring mark four times, including netting a career-high 23 points against Mount Union in the season opener.
