Seven Washington State Players On Pac-10 All-Academic First Team

The Pac-10 released its all-academic teams and Washington State cleaned up this morning. Seven -- SEVEN!!! -- Cougs landed on the first team, the most of any team in the conference. Overall, 12 players were named to the first team, second team or as an honorable mention.

Take it away, Vince Grippi.

The Pac-10 released its academic all-conference selections and Washington State had seven first-team members, more than any school. They are: Jared Karstetter, Micah Hannam (for the third time), Chris Prummer (second), Kevin Kooyman (second), Casey Hamlett, Kyle McCartney and Chima Nwachukwu (third). Andrei Lintz was on the second team. Daniel Blackledge, Justin Clayton, Darren Markle and Skylar Stormo were honorable mention.

After a win on Saturday and a Pac-10 Player Of The Week award yesterday, it just keeps getting better for the Cougs. Congratulations to Karstetter, Hammam, Prummer, Kooyman, Hamlett, McCartney, Nwachukwu, Lintz, Blackledge, Clayton, Markle and Stormo for the honors. Not only are the Cougs improving on the field, but they're also continuing to improve in the classroom. So congratulations and thank you to the players and coaches for putting in the work on and off the field.

This is the other big change from Doba

We go from being docked scholarships because of poor grades to leading the pac-10 in All-Academic selections. Thanks Brian for highlighting this story. This is a huge yet often overlooked part of college sports.

I'm very proud of them all.

To go from APR penalties to having the most players on the All-Academic first team in a few years is fantastic. It’s great to see our players excelling in the classroom and they all — players and coaches — deserve to be recognized for it.

WOOO

Call me crazy, but this is as much of a reason to keep Wulff around as the win last Saturday was.
