K-State senior Brian Rohleder has been named to the 2015-16 College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-District 7 Men’s Basketball Team. The squads recognize the nation’s top student-athletes for their combined performances athletically and in the classroom.
Rohleder, a native of Beloit, Kan., has a 3.85 grade-point average in mechanical engineering.
The Academic All-District teams are divided into eight geographic districts across the United States and Canada. This is the fifth year of the expanded Academic All-America program as CoSIDA moved from recognizing a University Division (Division I) and a College Division (all non-Division I) and has doubled the number of scholar-athletes honored. The expanded teams include NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II and NCAA Division III participants, while the College Division Academic All-America Team combines NAIA, Canadian and two-year schools.
First-team Academic All-District honorees advance to the CoSIDA Academic All-America Team ballot, where All-America First, Second and Third Team honorees will be selected later in February.
