Jaden Meizinger from Keiser University lead the Academic All-America® teams by being named as the Academic All-America® Team Member of the Year for NCAA Divisions I, II and III, as well as the NAIA, respectively.
NCAA Division I
One of three finalists for the 2023 Biletnikoff Award and a two-time All-American,
Rome Odunze led the Huskies’ receiving corps with 92 receptions for 1,640 yards and 13 touchdowns in 15 contests.

Fifteen of the 51 members of the Academic All-America® Division I football teams boast a perfect 4.0 grade-point average in their undergraduate work or graduate school. The 27 members on the first team have an average GPA of 3.85, with both teams holding a collective average GPA of 3.83.
Four student-athletes are repeat selections on the Academic All-America® Division I football teams:
Kyle Ostendorp (University of Arizona);
Spencer Jorgensen (Stanford University);
Will Shipley (Clemson University); and
