Landon Dickerson and Jedrick Wills Jr. earned first-team honors and will move on to the national Academic All-America ballot
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Alabama football offensive linemen Landon Dickerson and Jedrick Wills Jr. were both voted to the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-District IV team, it was announced Thursday.
It was the second such honor for Wills Jr., and the first for Dickerson. Alabama football has now tallied 19 CoSIDA All-District honors since 2009.
Dickerson, who earned his undergraduate degree in management with a 3.68 GPA at Florida State, is now pursuing a master's in business administration (MBA). Wills Jr. carries a 3.44 while pursuing a degree in finance.
In addition to earning CoSIDA Academic All-District IV honors last season, Wills Jr. is a 2019 Preseason and Midseason All-American and is on the Outland Trophy Watch List. Dickerson, in his first season with the Crimson Tide, has started every game in 2019 and was named SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week following the South Carolina game. Â
Both student-athletes now advance to the national ballot with a chance to be voted to the Academic All-America Team later this season. Alabama football players have earned Academic All-America honors eight times under head coach Nick Saban, the most notable being Barrett Jones, the only four-time honoree in CoSIDA Football Academic All-America history.
