AAC is proud to introduce you to our student-athletes for the 2023-2023 season. Each student-athlete featured below has been paired with a non-profit organization based in Northwest Arkansas. As they work to bring awareness to their respective non-profits, AAC will help each student-athlete reach their full potential, providing a support system during their college experience.
