MANHATTAN – Kansas State junior offensive lineman Adam Holtorf and senior wide receiver Zach Reuter have been named to the 2018 CoSIDA Academic All-District 7 team, the College Sports Information Directors of America has announced.
It is the second-straight year that Holtorf has been named to the team, while Reuter is a first-time honoree. K-State placed two members on the team for the first time since 2015 when Jack Cantele and Glenn Gronkowski were honored.
Holtorf, who carries a 3.96 GPA in agribusiness, is the first Wildcat to be named to the Academic All-District team in consecutive years since Gronkowski in 2014 and 2015. A native of Seward, Nebraska, Holtorf was also named a First Team Academic All-Big 12 performer for a second-straight year and was nominated with a 4.0 GPA both times. Holtorf has started all 10 games this year at center, helping the Wildcats average 212.2 yards rushing and total 14 touchdowns over the last five games.
A biochemistry/pre-med major who holds a perfect 4.0 GPA, Reuter earned his first-career academic honor from CoSIDA. Reuter just earned his third-straight First Team Academic All-Big 12 accolade and is one of just six players in Big 12 history to be nominated with a 4.0 GPA in three-consecutive seasons.
Reuter, a native of Columbia, Missouri, has recorded the best statistical season of his career during his 10 games of 2018, which includes four starts. He has tallied 14 receptions for 171 yards after entering his senior year with 12 career receptions for 118 yards.
By being named Academic All-District 7 honorees, Holtorf and Reuter now advance to the CoSIDA Academic All-America Team ballot, with first- and second-team Academic All-America honorees being announced in early December.
Reuter and 15 other seniors play in their final game inside Bill Snyder Family Stadium this Saturday against Texas Tech. The Senior Day game kicks off at 2:30 p.m., and will be televised nationally on ESPNU.
