FRISCO – Two East Texas A&M University football student-athletes have been voted into the Southland Conference All-Academic teams.
 
Tyler Daniels (Hattiesburg, Miss.) and Jadin Jones (Killeen) have been selected to the all-academic teams, both on the offensive side of the ball.
 
Daniels is a computer information systems major and was named to the dean's list as well as the Southland Conference Commissioner's Honor Roll. On the field last season, the junior wide receiver totaled 28 receptions, 399 yards, and caught a touchdown at Southeastern.
 
Jones started every game on the offensive line last season, while majoring in kinesiology & sports studies. He has also been named to the President's List and the SLC Commissioner's Honor Roll.
 
Southland Conference All-Academic Teams are voted upon by the head coach, sports information director and an academic/compliance staff member from each school. Student-Athletes of the Year are voted upon by an awards committee which consists of one administrator from each member school. Voting for one's own athletes is not permitted.
 
To be eligible for all-academic distinction, an athlete must hold a minimum 3.25 cumulative grade point average through the semester prior to the sport's championship, completed at least one full academic semester at the nominating school prior to nomination, and participated in at least 50 percent of the team's competitions during the most recently completed season. Student-Athlete of the Year nominees must have held at least a 3.50 GPA and have completed at least two years of athletic competition at the nominating school, including the current season.
 
First Team All-Conference athletes who meet all-academic nomination criteria are automatically named all-academic.
