Release from UC:
Led by redshirt junior center Gavin Gerhardt, the Cincinnati football team placed eight student-athletes on the College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District Football team. The teams were announced this week.
Joining Gerhardt on the team were holder Bryce Burton, defensive back Ken Willis, tight end Caleb Schmitz, cornerback Jordan Young, linebacker James Camden, offensive lineman Jonathan Harder and long-snapper Cayson Pfeiffer.
All members of the Academic All-District Football team must have at least a 3.5 GPA and be starters or contributors for their teams.
Gerhardt has above a 3.5 as an interdisciplinary major. He is a two-year starter and was a team captain this past fall. He helped anchor an offensive line that paced Cincinnati to the nation’s fifth-best rushing offense in the country (217.1). The Xenia, Ohio, native collected honorable mention All-Big 12 honors from the league’s coaches.
The 2023 Academic All-District® Football teams, selected by College Sports Communicators (CSC), recognize the nation’s top student-athletes for their combined performances on the field and in the classroom.
