ODAC fans will have 28 All-ODAC honorees from the 2025 season to support in 2026, marking the second straight year a little more than half of the 50 all-league stars return to league rosters. That group includes eight members of the All-ODAC First Team, 11 All-ODAC Second Team choices, and nine All-ODAC Third Team honorees.

Lynchburg leads the charge with seven of the 11 all-conference Hornets returning to the Hill City. Reigning ODAC Coach of the Year Gene McCabe features six all-league returns. That figure is matched by the number of returning Tigers including 2025 top-rookie Cole Palmer, who was also a second team selection. Randolph-Macon's five-player All-ODAC list is buoyed by last season's ODAC Defensive Player of the Year Mike Allen. That leaves four all-conference stars for new Roanoke mentor Grant Zimmerman as he takes over the lead chair from 37-year Maroons' veteran Bill Pilat.
