AUSTIN, Texas – Baylor Softball’s Shaylon Govan capped off a successful academic and athletic season, earning College Sports Communicators (CSC) Second Team Academic All-America accolades, the organization announced Tuesday.


After picking up Academic All-American honors last year, Govan becomes the fourth player in Baylor softball history to receive the accolade twice. She is one of 19 members on the first-second or third teams with a 3.75 GPA or higher and is one of four repeat selections on the Academic All-America Division I softball team – Jordyn Bahl (University of Nebraska), NiJaree Canady (Texas Tech University), and Dakota Kennedy (University of Arizona).



The Katy, Texas, native, holds a 3.79 GPA in her Community Health Science Mater’s program. She is the only Bear to receive three-time NFCA All-American and two-time Academic All-American honors during her career.



On the field, Govan led BU with a .407 batting average, seven home runs and 28 RBIs. The 2023 and 2024 All-American leads the Big 12 in batting average, which earned her the Big 12 batting champion honor, while also leading the conference with her .587 on base percentage.



Setting a Baylor all-time record in career-walks with 143, she also set Baylor career records in batting average (.407) and on base percentage (.558). Govan also earned All-Big 12 first team honors for the third-straight season, Big 12 Scholar Athlete of the Year, and Big 12 All-Defensive Team.



Govan was selected as a member of the CSC Academic All-District team which made her eligible for the All-America honor. The award was voted on by CSC members from a list of All-District honorees.
