Charleston's Johnson, Campbell's Rossow Tabbed CSC Academic All-Americans
CHARLESTON, S.C. – Charleston catcher Dylan Johnson and Campbell pitcher David Rossow earned College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-America First Team honors in baseball.
Johnson is the first Charleston baseball player to earn Academic All-America since 2011, joining Joey Foxhall (1997-99), Travis Howell (1999), Brett Anderson (2004-05), Phillip Coker (2004-06) and Matt Leeds (2011) as the only players in program history to receive the award.
The 2026 CAA Defensive Player of the Year and All-First Team selection, Johnson batted .340 with 24 extra-base hits and 36 RBI. A 2026 ABCA/Rawlings All-Region Second Team honoree, Johnson posted a .945 OPS while crossing the plate a team-best 42 times. Defensively, the catcher threw out 24 base runners in 2026 en route to setting the program record with 58 career runners thrown out.
Rossow was named CAA Pitcher of the Year and first team all-conference after securing the "triple crown" on the mound. He led the league in ERA (2.53), strikeouts (104), and wins (10). The Boca Raton, Fla., native finished with a 10-2 record in 81.2 innings pitched after making 13 starts in 16 appearances.
He became just the fifth Camel pitcher to record 100+ strikeouts in a season and the mark is the fourth most in a season. He finished with 10.7 strikeouts per nine innings for fifth-most in a single season. Rossow combined for a pair of shutouts on the season and held opponents to a .207 batting average.
Rossow maintained a 3.714 in his Applied Leadership program. He becomes just the eighth Camel to earn the honors and is the first since Thomas Harrington in 2022.
