ROCKLIN, Calif. – Three Warriors have been recognized for their successes both on the field and in the classroom as the recipients of the CSC Academic All-District team were announced on Tuesday. Representing Jessup are Nick Poss, Tony Otis, and Rudy Rodriguez.
 
CSC (College Sports Communicators) is an organization made up of athletic communicators at institutions across the United States and Canada. Nominations for Academic All-District are made by each school's CSC member, and nominees are then voted regionally by district. Select All-District winners then advance to the national ballot for Academic All-American distinction.
 
Nominees for Academic All-District must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.50 or higher, be a sophomore or above academically, and meet specific performance minimums per sport, such as matches played and in-match statistics.
 
Poss, a Leadership graduate student, has been selected to advance to the Academic All-American ballot. The catcher hit .319 in his only season with the Warriors. He led the Warriors with eight home runs and 44 RBI and finished second on the team with 13 stolen bases. Poss was a First-Team PacWest All-Conference selection and has also been a consensus All-Region selection.
 
An Accounting major, Otis finished his first season with the Warriors batting .285 with seven home runs, 32 RBI, and 11 stolen bases. He appeared in 51 games with 53 starts and recorded a .396 on-base percentage.
 
Rodriguez closed out his only season in Rocklin with a .292 batting average and 30 RBI. Rodriguez, a Digital Communication, Art & Design student, hit one home run, which conveniently came in the NCCAA National Championship game.

The other 13 are Chris Albee (Biology), Kyle Deering (Leadership), Jack Grant (Leadership), Cole Hazel (Business Administration), Rylie Houghtby (Business Administration), Ryan Irvine (Digital Communication, Art & Design), Noah Lindholm (Exercise Science), Joey Miller (Exercise Science), Dominic Ott (Exercise Science), Jason Riviello (Business Administration), Cole Spake (Business), Ryan Stone (Business Administration), and Beau Yasui (Business Administration).
