‼️WE LOVE TECH NATION‼️

I would like everyone to join me in congratulating Akongnwi “Akong” Chungong ( ) on being named a 2025 All-American. This is one of the highest honors in collegiate rugby, and it is a recognition he has unquestionably earned.

Originally from Limbe, Cameroon, and a graduate of Sue Cleveland High School, Akong came to New Mexico Tech in Fall 2023 to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Engineering. He brought with him more than 10 years of rugby experience and immediately made an impact within the highly competitive High Peaks DIII conference.

Now a junior, Akong has helped lead the team to two National Tournaments and has played a pivotal role in more than five undefeated regular seasons across both 15s and 7s. He has attended regional qualifiers every season since arriving at Tech and continues to set the standard for performance and consistency.

Beyond his athletic excellence, Akong serves as the current Head of Communications and Team Captain for NMT Men’s Rugby. He exemplifies what it means to be a student athlete by excelling academically, athletically, and as a leader within the program and the broader campus community.

We are beyond honored to have Akong as part of our squad. The sky is not the limit for him. It is only the beginning of what he is capable of achieving here at New Mexico Tech.

Additional Honors and Recognitions
• NMT Scholar 2024
• Scholastic All American 2024
• NCR All Star 2024 and 2025
• NCR All American 2024 and 2025
