AUSTIN, TEXAS – Carl Mattox has been named to the 2015 Academic All-Super Region 2 football team, selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).
"Carl is very deserving of this honor," head coach Tim Clifton said. "He's a good player, a good student and a fine Christian young man."
Mattox, a junior Business Administration major with a 3.75 GPA, has made 55 tackles (37 solo), six tackles for loss, one interception and six pass breakups in nine games played for MHU this season. He currently is tied for ninth in the league with 37 solo tackles. Mattox made a team-leading 10 tackles against NCAA Football Championship Subdivision member Chattanooga on September 12 and led the Lions with 16 tackles in a 41-37 home victory over Lenoir-Rhyne on October 24. This is his first Academic All-Super Region 2 honor.
To be nominated for Academic All-America honors, a student-athlete must be at least a sophomore with a 3.3 cumulative grade point average and must be a starter or a significant reserve on his team. First-team Academic All-District ® honorees advance to the Capital One Academic All-America® Team ballot, where first-, second- and third-team All-America honorees will be selected later this month.
Mars Hill returns to action on Saturday, hosting Wingate at 1 p.m.
