November 05, 2015 | Football
The junior defensive end was a member of the 2014 ACC All-Academic Team
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Boston College junior defensive end Kevin Kavalec earned a spot on the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-District First Team, the organization announced on Thursday. The 2014 Atlantic Coast Conference All-Academic team honoree earned the District I accolade for the first time in his career.
In 2015, the Middleburg Heights, Ohio, native has logged 16 tackles as part of the top defense in the nation. He has 5.5 tackles for a loss of 19 yards and one sack as the Eagles led the country in tackles for loss and are tied for third in sacks. Last season, Kavalec tallied 10.5 tackles for a loss of 35 yards as part of his 40-tackle total.
He has earned the Athletics Director's Award for Academic Achievement twice and was named to the ACC Academic Honor Roll in 2014.
To be nominated for CoSIDA All-Academic Teams, a student-athlete must be a starter or important reserve with at least a 3.30 cumulative grade-point average his current institution. Members of the Academic All-District First-Team advance to the Academic All-America Team ballot, where first-, second- and third-team All-America honorees will be selected later this month.
