IOWA CITY — Senior Bennett Stirtz and junior Cam Manyawu earned the top team honors for the University of Iowa men’s basketball team for the 2025-26 season. Stirtz was awarded the Chris Street Award, while Manyawu was the recipient of the Kenny Arnold Spirit Award.

The Chris Street Award is presented annually to a Hawkeye player or players who best exemplify the spirit, enthusiasm, and intensity of Chris Street. Street was an Iowa basketball player who died in an auto accident in 1993, midway through his junior year.

The Kenny Arnold Spirit Award is bestowed upon the player who best embodies Arnold’s spirit of leadership, character, courage, determination and poise. Three years after graduating, Arnold was diagnosed with a brain tumor and battled the disease for more than 30 years before passing away in April 2019.

Stirtz earned honorable mention Associated Press and USBWA All-America honors and was a first-team All-Big Ten selection by the media after averaging 19.8 points, 4.4 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.4 steals. Manyawu was a team leader while providing an emotional spark on a nightly basis for the Hawkeyes during their 24-win season.
