Indiana defensive tackle Adam Replogle was named a first-team Academic All-American.
The release follows.
REPLOGLE EARNS FIRST TEAM ACADEMIC ALL-AMERICA HONORSBLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Indiana senior defensive tackle Adam Replogle earned a spot on the Capital One Academic All-America® Division I football first team as announced by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) on Thursday. Replogle is just the eighth Hoosier (10th time) to collect the honor and the first since kicker Austin Starr in 2007.
A criminal justice and psychology double major, Replogle is a three-time Capital One Academic All-District V selection and a three-time Academic All-Big Ten honoree.
On the field, Replogle garnered second team All-Big Ten recognition following the regular season. He started an Indiana record 47 games and finished his career with 184 tackles, 15 sacks, which is ninth in school history, and 28.5 tackles for loss.
In 2012, Replogle led the team with five sacks (tied for seventh in the Big Ten), 13 tackles for loss (seventh) and two forced fumbles (tied for 10th) and finished third with 71 tackles. His 5.9 tackles per game topped all Big Ten defensive linemen, and he closed second among defensive tackles in sacks and TFLs.
Replogle is also a finalist for the Senior CLASS Award, was one of 10 finalists for the ARA Sportsmanship Award, was a nominee for the 2012 AFCA Good Works Team and was a semifinalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy.
Congratulations Adam, that’s a great honor. The combination of your academic success and your years as a starter on a Big Ten football team says a lot about you and will serve you well throughout your professional life. You have built a great foundation for a great career. Thank you for representing Indiana University so well over the years.
I echo Podunker’s comment. I am also proud of each of the Academic All Big-Ten Hoosier players.
Adam is a great player, and great young man off the field. It’s just a shame that he and Will Matte never were able to have a winning season and make it to a bowl game. They deserve it.
It’s leaders like Adam that are leading the turnaround.
Congrats to a player that never gave up on what we are trying to do here at Indiana and that is play hard on the field and work hard in the classroom. Congrats it showed he was a player that held that defense together. The eight seniors will be missed but never forgotten. Good Luck to you Adam i think he will be playing somewhere on sundays~~
