With Ohio University days away from the 2025-26 academic year ending, now is the time to take a look at and honor some of the best senior athletes who finished their college careers with the Bobcats this season.
This year was a successful year for Ohio and its sports teams including football, volleyball, women's basketball and softball. These teams had solid years with lots of great seniors suiting up for them.
Football
There were a multitude of seniors who helped lead Ohio to another solid year in football, with the team ending the season with nine wins and a win in the Scooter’s Coffee Frisco Bowl. One of the most important pieces was quarterback Parker Navarro, who spent four years with the Bobcats and led them to the 2024 Mid-American Conference title.
Navarro ended his Ohio career with 5026 yards and 30 touchdowns passing the ball, and 2114 yards and 27 touchdowns running the ball. On the other side of the ball, safety Adonis Williams Jr. was an anchor of an elite Ohio defense.
The Cleveland native Williams spent four years with Ohio, and ended his career as a two-time captain while racking up 183 total tackles, 12.5 tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks as a Bobcat.
Volleyball
Ohio only had two seniors suit up for the Volleyball season this year, with setter Kendall White and middle blocker Leah Rogers each playing their final collegiate seasons with the Bobcats.
Rogers played in just nine sets last season and finished her career with 13 kills. White started her career at Kent State, but performed her final year with Ohio.
She was huge for Ohio’s hot streak in MAC play, as she tallied 670 aces, 52 kills and 163 digs in 2025.
Men’s Basketball
The Bobcats had two four-year seniors end their careers with Ohio this season in guard Ajay Sheldon and forward Aidan Hadaway. Both players committed to Ohio out of high school and stayed in Athens for all four years.
Sheldon finished his career averaging 7.5 points per game this season while shooting over 37% from 3, while being ever active on the defensive side of the ball.
Hadaway capped his four years with Ohio after putting up 14.4 points per game in 2025-26, while also grabbing 7.4 rebounds per game.
Women’s Basketball
Bob Boldon and his team had a trio of graduate students playing their final year of college basketball this past season, with Aliah McWhorter, Elli Garnett and Aja Austin all finishing their careers with Ohio this season.
McWhorter put up 7.5 points per game on 44% shooting from the floor in her last year. She started her career with Wake Forest but spent the last two years with Ohio.
Garnett is the sister of former Ohio player and current Ohio coach Abby Garnett, and she had a great year in her last and only season with the Bobcats, going for 8.5 points per game and 5.7 rebounds per game.
Austin played her first year of college with Delaware, but she spent the final four years as a Bobcat. She only played in two of those years due to injury, playing in a total of 33 games over her career as a Bobcat.
Hockey
The Bobcats had a total of nine seniors on their 2025-26 national championship-winning roster, with players like Luc Reeve, Hollander Thompson and Laker Aldridge all being key parts of a title-winning squad.
In net, all three of Ohio’s goalies this season were seniors, with Matt Zazon, Garrett Alderman and Scott Bird all winning a national title in their fourth year.
