CoSIDA Academic All-Americans All Sports, All Teams

Nebraska's rich tradition of academic excellence is solidified on the national level through the University's dominance of the ESPN the Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-American awards. University of Nebraska student-athletes from all teams and all sports combined far outdistance any other school in the country. Nebraska has a nation-leading total of 269 CoSIDA/ESPN The Magazine Academic All-Americans - 62 more than No. 2 Notre Dame. To be considered for the award, student-athletes must be sophomore status or above, maintain a minimum 3.2 cumulative grade-point average, be a team starter or key reserve and be active in the community. Every Nebraska student-athlete who garners first-team Academic All-American recognition has an oil painting portrait completed in their honor, and the picture is forever displayed in the West Stadium. During the fall semester of 2008, Nebraska added five members to its CoSIDA Academic All-America tradition: Todd Peterson (second-team, football), Tyler Wortman (second-team, football), Amanda Gates (first-team, volleyball), Kori Cooper (first-team, volleyball) and Jordan Larson (second-team, volleyball). In the spring of 2009, the Huskers added a first-team honoree in softball with the addition of Molly Hill to NU's distinguished list of two-time academic All-Americans.
