One other Husker football related note:
– A proposed 12-team format will be considered next week by the College Football Playoff management committee. The proposal calls for the bracket to include the six highest-ranked conference champions and the six remaining highest-ranked teams as determined by the CFP selection committee. The four highest-ranked conference champions would be seeded 1-4 and receive a first-round bye. Teams 5-12 would play each other in the first round on the home field of the higher-ranked team. The quarterfinals and semifinals would be played in bowl games, and the national championship game would remain at a neutral site.
A pair of Nebraska football players were honored as the CoSIDA Academic All-District VII Football Team was announced yesterday. Ben Stille and Adrian Martinez was both first-team selections and will now advance to the CoSIDA Academic All-America ballot. Stille is a first-team selection for the second straight season, as the senior defensive lineman carries 3.31 GPA while working on a master’s degree in nutrition and health sciences. Martinez earns his first Academic All-District VII award, as he graduated with a degree in management and carries a 3.50 GPA. First- and second-team Academic All-America honorees will be announced in early July. Nebraska has a national-best 341 Academic All-Americans, including 108 in football, as of June 2021.
Nebraska outside hitter Lexi Sun has been named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District First Team. Sun carries a 3.51 GPA, and earned a bachelor’s degree in communication studies last December. Sun earned AVCA Second-Team All-America accolades, as well as All-Big Ten First Team and AVCA All-North Region honors this past season. The Nebraska volleyball program has placed a student-athlete on the CoSIDA Academic All-District Team six years in a row. Sun was a second-team selection year. By being named to the first team, Sun will be eligible for CoSIDA Academic All-America honors, which will be announced in July.
