Earlier today, the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) released their selections for the 2016-17 Academic All-America teams for both men’s and women’s basketball at the Division 1 level. In their selection on the men’s side was our own Caleb Swanigan.
Swanigan was the only player from the Big Ten Conference on the men’s side to named an Academic All-American.
Swanigan boasts a 3.30 GPA in general education / education studies. He has spent hours in local classrooms around the area as a student-teaching volunteer and aspires to be a teacher to be able to "make a difference in thousands of kids' lives".
