McDermott scores national academic honor

MOREHEAD, Ky. – Morehead State University sophomore linebacker Wes McDermott (Louisville, Ky./Holy Cross High School) has been named to the 10th Annual Football Championship Subdivision Athletics Directors Association Academic All-Star Team. The honorees were announced at the FCS football championship in Chattanooga, Tenn.

McDermott ranked second on the 2007 Eagle squad with 64 total tackles. He had 37 solo stops, 8.5 tackles for loss, 1.0 sacks, two pass interceptions, one fumble recovered and one additional pass break-up. The 2007 MSU defense led the nation (FCS) in rushing defense, and the Eagles finished the season with a 7-4 record.

“I am pleased to be a member of an organization that honors student-athletes in this manner,” said MSU Athletic Director Brian Hutchinson.  “Wes epitomizes the term student-athlete by being highly successful on the field and in the classroom.”

McDermott has a 3.61 grade point average (on a 4.0 scale) with a major in business administration (marketing). 

Fifty-one student-athletes selected from all FCS institutions were honored. Each nominee was required to have a minimum grade point average of 3.20 in undergraduate study and have been a starter or key player. A special Review Committee of Football Championship Subdivision athletics directors was responsible for selecting the academic all-star team. The FCS ADA is a part of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA).
