LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – The Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference, celebrating its 75^th anniversary season in 2025-26, continues the process of honoring 300 of its most prominent contributors throughout the month of September.
 
The third grouping so honored are the PSAC's 75 Greatest Male Athletes, recognizing former male student-athletes that had exceptional athletic careers during or after their participation in the PSAC.
 
"The legacy of the PSAC has been built on the backs of remarkable student-athletes whose impact transcends box scores and record books," said Steve Murray, PSAC Commissioner. "Honoring the 75 greatest male athletes in our history is more than a celebration of talent. It's a tribute to the character, discipline, and competitive spirit that define our conference. These men didn't just compete in the PSAC—they helped shape its identity."
 
The PSAC was founded on March 11, 1951, and comprised 14 institutions as the Pennsylvania State Teachers College Athletic Conference (PSTCAC). Since then, it has grown into one of the largest conferences in the NCAA across all three divisions.
 
The first 75 honorees were designated "Made in the PSAC", a group that recognizes former student-athletes that have gone on to influential careers after graduation (which could be in the sports industry, but not necessarily as a professional athlete.) The second 75 honorees were the conference's 75 Greatest Female Athletes.
 
The 75^th anniversary honors will conclude with the release of the PSAC's "Distinguished Keystones" on September 24.
 
All 300 honorees were selected through a process that included nominations from institutions and selections by committee. The committee was comprised of institutional and PSAC staff.

The Bloomsburg honorees are highlighted below and the full list can be found in the link above.
