Alumni Update - Brandon Schroeder (West Liberty)

West Liberty junior wide receiver Brandon Schroeder was honored as a Capital One Academic All-District 1 first-team selection in NCAA Division II football.

Individuals are selected based on their academic and athletic accomplishments and voted on by the College Sports Information Directors of America. To be eligible, players must have spent more than one season at the institution, participated in 50 percent of the team's games and have a cumulative grade-point average higher than 3.30.

Schroeder, a Canon-McMillan High School graduate, leads the Hilltoppers’ receivers with 47 catches for 547 yards and four touchdowns.

A season ago, he posted the 10th 1,000-yard receiving season in school history. That earned him first-team all-conference accolades and third-team all-region honors.

As first team Academic All-District selection, Schroeder advances for consideration for Academic All-America honors.

The 2012 CoSIDA/Capital One Academic All-District One Football Team encompasses all student-athletes from NCAA Division II Super Region One member conferences (West Virginia Conference, Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference, Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association and the Northeast-10).
