AUSTIN, Texas — South Dakota State defensive end Reece Winkelman repeated as a member of the Academic All-America Division I Football First Team, officials from the College Sports Communicators announced Tuesday.
Â
A native of Marshall, Minnesota, Winkelman was selected with a 3.92 grade-point average as a graduate student in business economics. On the field, he earned first-team all-Missouri Valley Football Conference honors in 2022 and has racked up seven sacks and 14.5 tackles for loss to lead a Jackrabbit squad that has advanced to the Football Championship Subdivision national title game for the second time in three seasons.
South Dakota State football student-athletes have been honored on CoSIDA Academic All-America teams 45 times since 1974. The Jackrabbits have placed at least one player on the squad in 16 of the last 18 seasons, including multiple selections 13 times.
Â
The Academic All-America program, sponsored by the College Sports Communicators (formerly CoSIDA), recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the field and in the classroom. Candidates, who are first nominated and honored at the district level, must be at least a sophomore in athletic and academic standing, a starter or key reserve on his team and carry at least a 3.3 GPA.
