Only two days after being named to the 2016 Academic All-ACC Team and recipient of the Skip Prosser Award, Marcus Paige adds another accolade to his already impressive college career.
On Thursday morning, Paige was named first-team Academic All-America by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).
The senior guard from Marion, Iowa is a double-major in media and journalism/history. Paige was second-team Academic All-America in 2014 and 2015 and a two-time recipient of the Skip Prosser Award, given to the ACC’s top student-athlete in men’s basketball.
Paige is the only player nominated to the 2016 Academic All-America team who is being honored for the third time.
