The Big Ten Jackie Robinson Community & Impact Award was created to recognize Big Ten student-athletes who demonstrate Jackie Robinson's core values of "Jackie's nine" of courage, determination, teamwork, persistence, integrity, citizenship, justice, commitment and excellence. Specifically, those student-athletes that have made an exceptional effort in impacting their local community through volunteerism, community programming and/or philanthropy between January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024.

The Oak Park, Ill. native also took second in the discus throw with a mark of 178-1 (54.30m) at the Battle at the Beach on April 4.
