2026 DR. JAMES DAVIES AWARD – Patrick Morgan, Westcliff University
Posted: Apr 30, 2026

2026 DR. JAMES DAVIES AWARD – Patrick Morgan, Westcliff University

The California Pacific Conference Directors of Athletics named Patrick Morgan of Westcliff University as the 2026 Dr. James Davies male scholar-athlete of the year award winner. He is the first Warrior student selected for the Cal Pac honor, which is given to one exceptional student-athlete who's academic, community and athletic achievements stand out among those who have completed their degrees and sports careers.

Morgan, from Vista, Calif., earned the 2025 Cal Pac baseball player of the year award. This season, as a first-team selection by the Continental Athletic Conference, Morgan batted a whopping .395 for the Warriors. He also broke the school's career home run record at Westcliff with 22 (so far). He is a two-time NAIA scholar-athlete who is completing his Master's degree in Business.

The Dr. James Davies award is named in honor of the Cal Pac's founding and long-time eligibility chair. Jim served the conference with a passion for supporting the student-athletes in achieving their academic goals. Along with his lifelong dedication to higher education, he both lived out and emphasized the NAIA's values as a true champion of character until his sudden passing in 2015.
