For the second consecutive year, a Colorado School of Mines student-athlete is the RMAC’s Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year, as Alex Dunagan was named the recipient of the league’s top academic award.
Dunagan, a baseball athlete from Cypress, Texas, completed his collegiate career this May with a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering while maintaining a 4.00 GPA. He was named the RMAC Baseball Academic Player of the Year and the Summit Award winner at the RMAC Baseball Championship in 2026.
On the field, he batted .346 with 25 doubles, 12 home runs, and 73 RBI over 54 games. He earned all-tournament honors at the RMAC Baseball Championship, leading the Orediggers to the championship game. Dunagan was tied for the Division II lead with 25 doubles and ranked No. 23 in RBI, leading the RMAC in both categories.
At the RMAC's Hall of Fame and Awards Banquet last Thursday, The Sidelines sat down with Alex for Episode 77 to learn more about his journey to earning the league's highest academic honor.
