2024 CSC Academic All-District Football Teams
SEWARD, Neb. – A group of eight student-athletes from the Concordia University, Nebraska Football was honored on Tuesday (Jan. 7) by College Sports Communicators (CSC) as 2024 Academic All-District® Team selections. That number represents an increase from the four CSC Academic All-District awards the program raked in following the 2023 season. Repeat Academic All-District award winners include Jackson Anderson, Carson Fehlhafer and Austin Jablonski. The first time honorees are Mark Arp, Cohen Carpenter, Luke Penrod, Jaden Seier and Adam Van Cleave.
The 2024 Academic All-District® Football Teams, selected by College Sports Communicators, recognize the nation’s top student-athletes for their combined performances on the field and in the classroom. Student-athletes must achieve a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or higher in order to be nominated for this award. Nominees also had to meet specific requirements in terms of games played and games started during the 2024 season. The CSC Academic All-America® program separately recognizes honorees in four divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and NAIA — for each gender. Each school was allowed to nominate a maximum of eight student-athletes for football all-district honors.
