Cuthbert Named to Academic All-America First Team
Kent State senior Nick Cuthbert (Chesterland, Ohio/West Geauga) was among three linebackers selected to the CoSIDA Academic All-America First Team Thursday. A graduate student, Cuthbert carried a 3.97 grade point average, receiving just one B in his 3.5-year undergraduate career.
The former walk-on went out with a bang, recording 56 tackles in his final three games (18.7 tpg). Now a two-time Academic All-America selection, Cuthbert ranks ninth in MAC with 98 tackles. He finished second on the team in both solo tackles (52) and tackles for loss (8.5).
