SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. – Six Shippensburg University Raiders were among the individuals announced on Wednesday to the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC)'s "75 Greatest Male Athletes" list.
           
The list recognizes former male student-athletes who had exceptional athletic careers during or after their participation in the PSAC.
 
The PSAC is celebrating its 75th anniversary season in 2025-26 and is honoring 300 of its most prominent contributors throughout the month of September.
 
"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.
