For his efforts in the classroom, the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) has named Bob Jones University golfer, Michael Abdo as a NCCAA Scholar-Athlete for the 2026 season.

The recognition is given to student-athletes who maintain at least a 3.40 cumulative GPA and are a junior, senior or graduate student. Abdo is a senior on the golf team who is studying biology.

"As a biology major, Michael's commitment to his field of study was evident right from the beginning of his freshman year as a Bruins golfer," shared Head Coach Denny Scott. "Now, as a senior, he has earned this award by demonstrating his academic excellence and diligence over the past four years. He represents the true meaning of a NCCAA Scholar-Athlete."

The Bruins golf team is currently representing Bob Jones University on the national stage as they compete at the the NCCAA National Championship in Palm Coast, Florida.
