Men’s gymnast Asher Cohen became Nebraska’s 11th Academic All-American of the 2023-24 season, when he captured third-team honors on the Men’s At-Large Team announced by the College Sports Communicators on Wednesday, July 17.
Cohen, a sophomore from Lakewood, Colo., claimed Nebraska’s 18th men’s gymnastics Academic All-America award and the first since Anton Stephenson earned first-team honors in 2019. Cohen brought home his Academic All-America award after posting a perfect 4.0 GPA as a biological sciences major while earning All-America honors with a sixth-place NCAA finish on still rings in 2024. He also competed on parallel bars for the Huskers at the NCAA Championships, helping Coach Chuck Chmelka’s squad to a fourth-place team finish.
Cohen, who earned Academic All-Big Ten honors and a spot on the Tom Osborne Citizenship Team in 2024, also played a key role in helping the Huskers capture their first Big Ten regular-season championship since joining the conference in 2011.
CSC Men’s At-Large Academic All-Americans included gymnasts, wrestlers, golfers, skiers, ice hockey, lacrosse, volleyball and water polo players in 2023-24.
Cohen’s CSC Academic All-America award was the eighth for the Huskers during the spring athletic season, pushing Nebraska’s all-time total to 362. The 11 Academic All-America awards for the Huskers in 2023-24 marked their highest single-season total since 2010-11.
