Moore Named NCAA Impact Award Winner

Nebraska track and field's Micaylon Moore was announced as the recipient of the prestigious NCAA Impact Award on Wednesday. 

Formerly known as the Today's Top 10 Award, the NCAA Impact Award recognizes one exceptional male and female student-athlete from each NCAA division. It honors seniors who have achieved a high level of athletic excellence, academic success, and service to their communities. The award, selected by the NCAA Awards Committee, celebrates student-athletes for their overall impact and contributions. 

Moore is the male recipient for NCAA Division I. The awardees will be celebrated in January at the NCAA Convention Welcome and Awards Presentation in National Harbor, Maryland.

"Micaylon has been an exemplary student-athlete and an absolute joy to have as a leader, not just in our program but at our university and in our community," Head Coach Justin St. Clair said. "This award reflects the hard work and integrity Micaylon displays in everything he does, and all of us in the Nebraska Track and Field program are so proud of him." 

“The NCAA Impact Award honors the best of the best among collegiate student-athletes,” Nebraska Director of Athletics Troy Dannen said. “Micaylon Moore embodies everything this award represents and has been an exceptional student-athlete during his time as a Husker.  We are proud that Nebraska continues to lead the nation in the number of recipients of this prestigious award, and Micaylon is an outstanding addition to our elite group of honorees.”

A native of Fort Collins, Colo., Moore won three U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association All-America honors in the triple jump, including two first-team selections, and he finished second at the 2025 NCAA Indoor Championships to finish his Husker career. Moore was the 2024 Big Ten Indoor champion in the triple jump and helped lead the Husker men to the 2023 and 2024 Big Ten Outdoor team titles. Moore earned the Big Ten Medal of Honor and was named Nebraska’s Most Outstanding Male Student-Athlete in 2025. 

Academically, Moore earned the Wayne Duke Postgraduate Award and was a semifinalist for the Arthur Ashe Jr. Sports Scholar of the Year award. He received multiple College Sports Communicators Academic All-America honors, including first-team recognition in 2025. Beyond the track, he co-founded Husker Healers for student-athletes interested in health care careers, and the Black Student-Athlete Association. He served six years on the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and volunteered at over 200 community events.

Nebraska now has a nation-leading 19 recipients of the NCAA Impact (Today's Top 10) Award. Moore is the first Nebraska track and field athlete to receive the honor.
