"We constantly talk to our student-athletes about committing themselves academically and athletically, and this wonderful honor shows that they do just that," Akron head coach Brandon Padgett said. "I am very proud of the team as a whole, as well as the individuals who earned this honor. They all worked extremely hard, and it is nice to see them rewarded for that."
