With their selection, UA has had least one all-district honoree in each of the last seven seasons dating back to 2020. Prior to the current stretch, Alabama had not had an Academic All-District Team member since 2011.
In total, Alabama has earned 10 Academic All-America honors since 1972, including first-team honorees Dr. Jeff Laubenthal (1993), Lance Cormier (2002) and Emeel Salem (2006, 07). The most recent Academic All-America selection for the Tide was Owen Diodati when he was named as a third-teamer in 2022.
