BOCA RATON, Fla. – Kicker Morgan Suarez and wide receiver Tony Johnson have been named to the 2022 Academic All-District Team® for football, as selected by the College Sports Communications (CSC formerly CoSIDA), on Tuesday. Both players are redshirt freshmen in their second year at Florida Atlantic.
The Academic All-District award recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the field and in the classroom. The CSC Academic All-America® program separately recognizes football honorees in four divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III, and NAIA. To be nominated, student-athletes must be at least a sophomore academically and athletically, an important starter or reserve and hold at least a 3.50 cumulative grade point average.
Suarez has connected on nine of 13 field goal attempts this season. The native of Wellington, Fla. is 38-for-38 on PATs. After going 3-for-3, including a 42 and 43-yarder in the season-opening win over Charlotte, Suarez was named C-USA Special Teams Player of the Week. A sophomore academically, Suarez holds a 3.74 GPA while majoring in Pre-Business.
Johnson walked-on as a freshman in 2021 before earning a scholarship at this season's fall camp. He's racked up 12 catches for 226 yards and three receiving touchdowns so far in 2022. A Business Management major from Ocala, Fla., Johnson sports a 3.97 GPA.
Academic All-District® honorees advance to the CSC Academic All-America® ballot. First-, second- and third-team Academic All-America® honorees will be announced in December. For the full release from the CSC visit https://academicallamerica.com/.
