PEORIA, Ill. -- Senior men's golfer Bobby Jacobs (Valparaiso, Ind./Valparaiso) has been named to the 2016-17 College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) At-Large Academic All-District Team for District V, according to an announcement by CoSIDA Thursday.
 
Jacobs earned Academic All-District honors for the second consecutive year and is the first two-time All-District selection from Bradley Men's Golf since Coby Thompson earned the distinction in 2009-10 and 2010-11.  In fact, Jacobs joins Thompson and Zach Wanken (2008-09 and 2009-10) as the only two-time Academic All-District honorees in program history. 
 
A two-time First-Team MVC Scholar-Athlete, Jacobs received the State Farm MVC Good Neighbor Award last spring.  This season he was selected as the Bradley and MVC Scholar-Athletes of the Week after he tied for second at the season-opening Crusader Collegiate, where he helped the Braves to the team title. 
 
A civil engineering major with a perfect 4.00 cumulative grade point average, Jacobs posted a 77.15 stroke average in his final season, carding 16 of his 20 rounds in the 70's or better.  He fired a career-best 69 to wrap up the Crusader Collegiate and earned his other top-10 finish at the Bradley Spring Break Invitational, tying for ninth.  Jacobs finished his career with a 78.91 stroke average and his 57 career sub-80 rounds ranks 25th all-time on The Hilltop.
 
To be eligible for Academic All-America® consideration, a student-athlete must be a varsity starter or key reserve, maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.30 on a scale of 4.0, have reached sophomore athletic and academic standing at his institution and be nominated by his sports information director.
