Cermak is the first Redbird in program history to earn the prestigious award (began in 2007). He joins Levi Usher (Louisville) and Brock Jones (Stanford) as outfielders to receive the honor.
The Riverside, Ill. native came to ISU as a shortstop and pitcher but transitioned to the outfield early in the 2021 season. Known for his elite range and knack for making challenging catches, Cermak solidified himself as one of the nation's premier defenders.
