SEWARD, Neb. – All-conference kicker Adam Meirose has been named to the Capital One Academic All-District® 3 Football Team of the College Division, as announced by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) on Thursday.
CoSIDA: “The Capital One Academic All-District® Football Teams have been released to recognize the nation’s top student-athletes for their combined performances athletically and in the classroom. Capital One has been the entitlement rights holder to CoSIDA’s Academic All-America teams programs since 2011.”
Meirose, a Lincoln native and product of Lincoln North Star High School, took over as Concordia’s kicker in 2013. He made 9 of 13 field goal attempts and went 31-for-33 on extra point attempts to break the program record for made PATs in a season. He was then named a second team all-GPAC choice.
In 2014, Meirose has broken his own record for point after touchdowns (33-for-35) while going 3-for-5 with a long of 36 on field goal tries. In his career, Meirose is 64-for-68 on PATs and 12-for-18 on field goal attempts.
Meirose is majoring in exercise science as a pre-physical therapy student. The junior is also on track to earn Daktronics-NAIA Scholar-Athlete recognition. He is the only kicker on the district 3 college division academic team.
