PEORIA, Ill. – Junior men's golfer Bobby Jacobs (Valparaiso, Ind./Valparaiso) has been named to the 2015-16 College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) At-Large Academic All-District Team for District V, according to an announcement by CoSIDA Thursday. 

Jacobs was a First-Team MVC Scholar-Athlete selection this spring and is the first Bradley men's golfer to earn Academic All-District honors since Coby Thompson in 2010-11. 

He played in 24 of 33 rounds and ranked fifth on the squad with a 78.42 season average.  Jacobs matched a season-best 72 to help the Braves win the Bradley Invitational and tied for fourth at the I-74 Individual Challenge for his best finish of the year.

A civil engineering major with a perfect 4.00 cumulative grade point average, Jacobs has received the MVC Commissioner's Academic Excellence Award twice and also been named to the MVC Honor Roll each of the last two years.  In addition, he was a recipient of the State Farm MVC Good Neighbor Award earlier this month. 

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.
