Shannon is the fourth player from head coach Brad Underwood's men's basketball program to earn the Eddleman Award in the last five years, joining Ayo Dosunmu (2020 and 2021) and Kofi Cockburn (2022). He is the 21st men's basketball player overall to win, dating back to 1940 when Illinois began selecting its Athlete of the Year.

Yeboah is the fourth consecutive recipient from the Illini women's track & field program to earn the Eddleman award, and the second of coach Petros Kyprianou's two-year tenure. She is the 22nd winner overall from track since the Illinois Female Athlete of the Year award was first handed out in 1977.
