Bass Pro Shops School of the Year presented by Abu Garcia
The Association of Collegiate Anglers announces the latest update to the standings for the 2023-24 Bass Pro Shops School of the Year presented by Abu Garcia. This is college fishing’s only all-encompassing National Rankings system, and the race for this year’s title is just now past the halfway mark of the season.
With hundreds of teams now preparing for the late winter and early spring stretch run of the season, it’s apparent that several schools are looking to climb into the Top 25 and finish as high up in the rankings as possible, while also hoping to crack that prestigious place in the Top 10 in the nation.
Montevallo team
A familiar school has taken over 1st place as the University of Montevallo has moved up two places to be ranked number one in the most recent rankings of the Bass Pro Shops School of the Year presented by Abu Garcia.
Carson-Newman University falls one place down to 2nd, and the University of North Alabama slides to 3rd after previously being ranked 2nd. Montevallo and UNA are both past multi-time winners of the School of the Year title, while Carson-Newman is looking to finish the year ranked number one for the first time.
Each of the Top 3 teams has competed in the same number of double points events in the season.
