Harper, Jones Named Academic All-District

ATLANTA -- Georgia State shorstop Justin Jones and pitcher Rhett Harper were named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District team, announced Thursday by the College Sports Information Directors of America.

Harper, with a 4.15 grade point average in accounting and finance, and Jones, with a 4.08 GPA in health and physical education, have the two highest GPAs on any of the All-District teams across the country.

Both student-athletes are now eligible for the CoSIDA Academic All-America team. Jones was a third-team Academic All-America last season.

A junior from Warner Robins, Ga. (Houston County HS), Jones is a three-year starter at shortstop.
