Six student-athletes on the 2023-24 Wayne State University men's tennis squad garnered GLIAC All-Academic Excellence Team honors. The six Excellence Team selections (cumulative GPA of 3.5+) were the most of any conference school. The men's tennis team has had 51 GLIAC All-Academic honorees over the last eight years.

Criteria state the student-athlete must be an active member on the roster at the end of the season, and not a freshman or a first-year transfer student.
